This ain’t the city

Mother Nature, a country road and a truck equals road kill. I cringe when I see those carcasses: frog, snake, and skunk. I’ve taken out a pigeon, a smaller unknown bird and whacked a raccoon. I swerve to avoid the chipmunks – there’re just so cute.

Coming home yesterday, my husband and I saw something on the road still moving – a turtle. Worried, we stopped to take it home to our pond.

First snapper I’ve ever seen. With that long tail, it was positively prehistoric.

I did touch it. It’s off the road.

But it ain’t anywhere near my pond.
