Turtle invasion

Yesterday, as I was refreshing the mulch cover around our trees and flower beds, I happened to spot a... 20 inch turtle, that looked lost amidst our yard and seemingly asking for directions. We immediately called our immediate neighbors, thinking that their pet turtle might have escaped, but among the few we reached no one could claim that kind of a loss. Then when I called Susan Morris, another neighbor who has three small kids, she jumped on the opportunity, exclaiming “I take him!” and soon showed up in our yard with a cardboard box, to carry the precious cargo home.
No, we didn't think of making turtle soup...
