Another first for me!  Lyle and I had the boys (Petie and Simon) out for a walk yesterday and by the side of the road we stumbled across this turtle.

She was in the process of laying her eggs and when we saw her she already had laid 3 eggs in this nest (I guess that's what you call it).   She digs a hole lays the eggs and then covers it up again.  When the eggs hatch the babies will dig their way out and then they are on their own.  I was surprised that the eggs were the size of Robins eggs.  In my whole life I had never seen this before and I admit I was pretty excited.  Okay!  So I am impressed with little things.  But you can read about this or see it on TV, but to actually see it in nature is something special that I will always treasure.
     Well stay happy and I am sending Hugs until my next nature episode. LOL
