turtle tales, part 2

Very important turtle update: I have seen a BABY turtle! I was taking my walk on Tuesday morning, and as I approached the far end of the street, there was a little bitty baby turtle in the road!

*Of course, I did not have my phone with me. Still no photo evidence!

*This one was on the danger side of the road (where cars would be driving into the turnaround), and was v. smol (smaller than my palm!). It was also not exactly crossing the road; more like chillin’ in the road. I was concerned.

*So you better believe I MOVED THAT TURTLE. (Like a foot, over to the grass.)

*I did try to encourage it to move on its own first, first by awkwardly crowding it and then by poking it gently. When neither of those worked, I just picked it up (carefully!).

*It seemed fine with turtling off into the grass after that. GOOD LUCK, BABY TURTLE!

*Yes, Mom, I washed my hands afterwards. :)
