Purple..."Why did the turtle cross the road?"
Last week on Thursday, we were driving home and saw a turtle crossing the road. Carsyn and I circled around, went back and picked him up. We put him on the floorboard and brought him home. HE lived in a box for a few hours, then we let him hang out in the grass. He stayed there for a day. Carsyn decided to name him Purple and we started to get attached to the fella....he was a big big turtle! Every time I picked him up he hissed at me! Sadly, on Friday morning Purple the turtle made a run for it. Just another day in the life of the Elliott's on the farm.

We saw a turtle crossing the road as we were going back to Mansfield from Huron several years ago. Sudsy stopped to help it so it wouldn't get squished. He picked it up and it was a snapper. At that point he threw it the rest of the way onto the grass.
You always were braver than me when it came to picking up critters...I would have just let it sit there and sent Chris back to get it.
