Wild Life

My husband was walking in the woods (his favorite place to be) and found a this turtle. He or she, is an Eastern Box Turtle. Gorgeous, isn't it?  I'm pretty on board with any animal around our house accept for a bird; they freak me out.

So the kids decided that the turtle needed a place to swim and they put him on top of our pool cover. It has rained quite a bit lately and it is just deep enough and full of leaves to make Hawkeye comfortable and happy. That's his name by the way, Hawkeye.

So here is the turtle enjoying his day in the sun.
