This is my post for Sunday 9-09-2007Last night about 15 minutes before I had to go pick Megan up at the birthday party the skies opened up and we had a huge thunderstorm. Normally I would not complain (people in Ohio love to complain about the weather it is like a state pastime) but it could have waited until after 7 p.m. (party pick up time). We just got a little drenched and that was with the rain coats! Prior and during the rainstorm I was out helping Mike clean out the garage.
Later that night just before bedtime when the girls were upstairs reading Mike called us back down to the garage to meet the visitors.
Mr. Toady stopped by...he usually hangs out by the front porch and feast on spiders and rolly polly bugs. We don't know how the snapping turtle made it from the pond to our driveway but he did and he was not happy about it either. The pond is across the street and beyond the backyards so he must have been confused by all the rain. He sure could go for a little 4 inch turtle...he would put it in turtle overdrive and he could move at a pretty fast clip...for a turtle and all. The kids got a kick out of the visitors after photos and all Mike returned them to the wild....of our front yard.
