Look at what came to visit at the new house on Friday!  I walked out under the sunroom to see the kitty and this HUGE snapper turtle was laying right up on his blanket in the corner.  Luckily, the foreman from my builder's crew was here finishing up a wall in the back yard.  He called his buddy Albert who couldn't wait to come get the turtle.  Thank goodness, cause it was one angry turtle!  Look at the closeup of his face when he's being held up by the tail...yikes!!  Well, as if that wasn't enough, this big ol' fella came out of his nest to see what all the commotion was about.  He was nearly 8 or 9 feet long and 2-3 inches in diameter...EEwwww!!  Get both of these creatures away from my house!  The builders/cement guys (we had drawn about 5 of them by now)  thought it would be funny to pit the snake against the turtle and see who came out on top.   And men think we find silly things funny and entertaining.  ROFL  Well, they took the turtle home and left the snake to scare off other snakes (thanks guys).   Oh yeah, I also found a present from my cat that morning...what appeared to have been a small mouse...  Not my day at all.  I think I'll avoid the backyard for awhile.
