Today was my first chance in a while to cut the grass. I was headed to the shed to get the lawn mower when I somehow saw this little guy hanging out in the back yard:
Jacob was curious:
So, I marked the spot where the little guy was so I could make sure I didn't step on him or run over him with the mower. Then I brought the mower out to the front yard and started mowing when I saw ANOTHER turtle in the front yard! This one was bigger, and she was busy! I watched as she laid an egg in this little hole she dug in our front yard:

That's great guys! Thanks for sharing
did she make it across the road?!?! what a cliffhanger! can't wait to hear if you get more hatchlings!
Cool! Get a narrator with an Australian accent to ponder the aMAZing creatures of the wild, and you could put it on PBS.
I thought your narration was fine, and Jacob the parrott too. :-)
I have memories of the turtle we found in our yard when I was about 6. It was tiny. We made a "habitat" for it on the back porch and named it "Sandy" (gender neutral name...) Sandy lived with us for a few weeks.
She did make it across the road. She kept stopping, though, which made it interesting. At one point she stopped right when van was coming, so I stepped into the road and got the van to go around her. Then she scampered off towards the river. A happy ending! :)
