On the Right Track

Haven't been posting much here

Sorry about that-I am mostly on the blogspot ones.  I am up to 5 of em now, so maintaining them all can be time consuming.  If you haven't had a chance to visit my new blog for workboxes, please do so.  Even if you are not using the system, you may get some ideas for your kiddos-and be sure to check the blog roll-lots of great bloggers there too. 

Thought I would post the little critter my hubby spotted scooting across the yard yesterday before the big storm hit.  He is kinda cute.  We actually get lots of turtles thru our yard (maybe I will start charging a toll?) becuase for whatever reason their autopilot takes them right between our yard, and the neighbor's house.  They go pretty far too, as we have figured they are layed and hatched way across the street in a depression area (gets kinda boggy and such when it rains a lot,but nothing too wet most the time-which is kinda odd because I thought they needed watery areas to lay their eggs)...guess we have some researching to do about turtles.  Anyhoo-we usually spot about 10-20 a season.  We have a 100 year flood plain (and due to the storm, it is very full of water right now) and a large pond behind us.  Guess it is more turtle friendly than the bog area.  So it seems they are hardwired to make a trip across the bog, street, and thru our yards to get to the ole pond.  Hope he makes it and becomes a big turtle dude, and not anyone's lunch.  We let old Columbus go after the huge, destructive storm blew over.  The boy loved him and begged for us to keep him-but alas, that just isn't going to happen.  We do not have very good luck with that sort of caretaking. 

Ok, the one with my son and the turtle is so cute but is taking forever to load (and basically isn't) so I will post that one on my homeschooling on a wing and a prayer blog. 

Blessings

What a cute turtle! How fun to have them coming through your yard! We found a little one recently - though not in our yard We also live near a 100 year flood plain. It's been raining a lot here lately and we should go see what's going on down there. lol
