Yertle the Turtle

Chris went to mow the lawn the other day and came inside yelling for me to come look quick. I went outside and there was a HUGE turtle in the yard! His tail was like a foot long with spikes and he could move pretty quick for such a mythically slow creature!!


After i named him we decided to move him out of the path of the mower. Chris tried to pick him up but yertle swung his legs back trying to scrach him.

When he put him down, he took of like a bolt, hurdled the rock wall and hid in the bushes.


I tried feeding him apples, lettuce and carrots but that evening he was gone...hopefully he made it back to the pond!!
