I was out in my pjs pulling some weeds this morning, and I almost missed this:

tiny turtle
She was disguised among the stones. I usually find babies in August that are about 2″ across. This one is definitely newly hatched. I can still see where she was attached to the egg sac.

I didn’t know you had turtles… do you know I do? If you ever want to find a home for any extra you might had…

Yep — the very same peeper. I may need to find a good home for some turtles and you’ve got a perfect yard for them. Last summer I counted 10 and I think that is probably too many for the size of my yard. I see one has been eating snails (yea!). I have lots of empty snail shells laying around. Now I’ve found these two new babies. Let me see how many come out in a month or two, and I’ll be glad to bring some out to you. I’m in PA visiting my daughter and her family this week — yesterday was gorgeous and today is cold!

Nature is so marvelous! I live in northern Minnesota and we have lots of tree frogs in the summer. They are so fun to see hanging on the house walls or behind something on a hot day. It will be a while before they appear but when they do we know summer has arrived.
I just discovered you and I have tkr in common. Isn’t it great to live at this time?
Thanks for sharing, love your blog!
