Sadly, it might be true. I think I accidentally murdered my first Box Turtle today--this from a woman who stops rush hour traffic to save the life of turtles in the middle of busy intersections. I went out to Wildbranch today to scope out the work and the trajectory of the hill makes it impossible to see over the nose of my car. When I got to the top of the hill and backed the car around to point down I noticed a pile of broken turtle shell and other disgusting things. There is the slimmest of chances it wasn't me, because flies were already gathering to feast. My hope is that more critters will come tonight to clean up the rest, since I didn't have a shovel to get rid of the "evidence." Don't want my builders to have to face THAT the first thing Monday morning.
On a lighter note, things are really moving along. The screened porch off the bedroom has been framed out and board has been laid over most of the framing. See the photo's below!

ReplyDeleteYou can really see how wonderful it's going to be when it's finished...lots of room, great design! And as far as the turtle, I hope you've recovered, and that another of God's creatures has completed the circle of life. We've all done it, accidentally.
