Morning Visitor

I saw something oval and brown on the ground in Scott’s hops garden this morning.  I was watering the garden when I spotted it so I stooped over to pick it up.  It turned out to be a turtle!  I called the kids over to check him out.  Of course, Caitlyn was the only kid willing to hold it.

He was brown and had some algae on him, and I don’t really know my turtles, so I’m guessing he was a box turtle.  We put him back where we found him and he disappeared into the woods within minutes.
