This evening, a neighbor came by to take advantage of an offer I'd made of free offshoots from a plant in our turtle pen.
Wouldn't you know, as I was moving leaf litter out of the way in order to dig, I turned up a teeny tiny little turtle hatchling!
It had probably overwintered in the nest and dug its way out in the last day or so: we have had nice warm weather and steady rain overnight.
So, needless to say, we'll be doing a very thorough search for more tomorrow....

In celebration of this, I would officially like to change the Easter mascot from the bunny to the box turtle! Who's with me?
