Well… today I was outside with Adele, and I wanted to look at my garden bed… so as I was going up to the garden I (fortunately) happened to be looking closly at the ground. and as I was looking I noticed a lump that looked like a little mound of dirt but it had a turtle shell pattern on it. I was very excited so I calle Leighton and he carried the tiny baby turtle to the patio.

So i went and got a cage that we usually use for frogs and we put the little turtle in it. And btw, this turtle had a shell only a little bigger that a quarter.   Now here are some pictures of me holding it, my Dad holding it and just the turtle. 

This last picture shows the turtle having hid inside a little house I made out of a cardboard tube from a paper towel roll.  It really likes that little house! (and it’s water dish!)
