(He has red eyes so I assume it is a male.) He seems to enjoy sitting under the collards during the heat of the day, nibbling on my lettuce (he doesn't take much!) and woe to the poor earthworm who crosses his path! I wonder if he will bury down for the winter or wander off to our woods?Julie S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-65511177980934469682012-09-19T12:23:53.996-04:002012-09-19T12:23:53.996-04:00Thanks for the heads up!

How many kids can say they come home for lunch AND get a close look at a turtle in one day?<br /><br />There is a children's book called All the Places to Love...Patricia Laughlin (I may have left a Mc off her name...) In any case, you two may enjoy taking a look. What a wonderful story your adventures with Lachlan would make.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
