Phyllis Diller, we hardly knew you!

Last night we had another turtle friend stop by. We have a creek running behind our property which must be the source of the turtles. Since the land in the area is clay based soil, they must be seeking out our property to lay their eggs because of all the sand the previous owners put down for their horses.

This turtle was much larger and looked to be much older. I named her Phyllis
Diller.

I went inside to finish cooking dinner, thinking that she was moving so slowly I couldn't miss her. Then I could see where she was going to bury her eggs and protect them like I had the other nest. Sadly, I did lose track of her in the half hour I was gone. I searched the entire field but came up with nothing. I really hope her eggs survive.

It's kind of awesome that these turtles are finding their way to us. We have almost officially decided to name property Turtle Creek Farm! Thanks turtles, for choosing us!
