...which I happily spotted and avoided as I drove through the neighborhood this morning.
A small box turtle ( it's a tortoise to me) half way across the road when I spotted it.
It was moving slowly...yes I know it's a tortoise and so it is proverbially slow. But it was cool this morning so extra slow. I pulled over and moved it into the grass.
Turtles are special. There is something magical about seeing a turtle. At the school I am teaching at the favorite game is "turtle tag." Anyone can tag anyone and if you get tagged you have to lie on your back and waggle your limbs around like an upside down turtle, until someone else tags you to free you. It is totally great to watch.
