Today we rescued a poor little sun-bathing turtle from imminent death. He was hanging out (or rather hiding inside his shell) in the middle of the road next to our apartment complex. Jeff, with his keen eye, spotted the little guy as we drove past. A car came careening down the road just as we were trying to get to the turtle, and the car didn't slow down despite our frantic waving and dancing; however, the turtle was miraculously spared. He was not too pleased to have Jeff pick him up, but we placed him on the lawn and hoped that we had saved his life--if only for a short time.
We thought we'd write about this since we never found a turtle on the road in Utah. Oh, and for Jeff's cousin, Madison, in Arizona, we see frogs and lizards all the time here.

Sounds like Jeff is feeling better -- over the shingles? Hopefully the turtle found another place to hang out.
we get a lot of lizards out here, but not so much with the frogs (or the random turtles) I'm sure Madison could spend quite a bit of time chasing creatures over there.(my boys don't quite get so excited as she does)
