Very Turtle-y

I heard the words, "Momma, come quick!"
And I thought to myself, "Oh, no! I wonder what's wrong."

Thankfully, all was well...we just had a visitor in the backyard.
We live on nearly 3 acres of land.
I have no idea where this little guy came from or how he got here.

He is tiny and he was scared.

Did you know turtles can scream when you try to pick them up? Me neither.
This one did and then he wet all over...nice!

Apparently after his huge journey, he was famished.

He took to the carrot like...well a famished turtle.


Let me go!



And off he went with the carrot.
Fast food to go...how very turtle-y!

  1. So cute! I had some pet turtles when I was a kid. They are so cool looking. God's creation is amazing. How are you and your family doing? Blessings...

  2. Oh too cute. We have huge gopher turtles that live around here. They will usually make their home in empty lots or the woods. Not that we have a whole lot of either over here. LOL.
    Hugs.
