I'm Not Making This Up...

I am so captivated by what is just outside our door that I just need to share it with you. Here's what greeted me as I was turning into our drive this afternoon. We're not talking a sweet little box turtle. This guy was at least 18 inches long!

I'm sure he is not as grumpy as he seems, but I do hope he is not headed for our lake.

    He looks more like a Blob to me than a Bob. -- but Lionel has a nice ring to it. Hope you and Sarah are thriving in Portland. Miss you.

    I think this is a common snapping turtle! 18 inches would be a big box turtle. He would be a fun addition to the lake - why not?
