A Preview of Things to Come

We've been blessed by lots of rain lately and our little spring/creek is overflowing.   This makes for a fun time for 5 boys and not so much fun for a little turtle.

This little guy shows scars from previous traumas -- animal bites no doubt (see the missing part of his shell) He or she didn't seem afraid of coming out of his shell in the hands of some rambunctious boys.

The boys didn't mind treking the entire length of the spring/creek in the chilly water.

With water up to their knees, it's hard to believe this spot was dry just last week.  It's a dry spring which we're hoping to dam up to make a nice little duck (and turtle)  habitat.
