Our Fun lil Sunday Surprise

*

Happy Monday Sweet Friends,

*

How is your Monday going???

*

I was very motivated today and went to work outside

since it is overcast and was a bit cool,  but then I did

something ( I have no idea what) and thru my back out,

 wasn't sure if I was gonna make it in the house or not, 

so had to leave the garbage can and clippers right where

they were cause I didn't dare try to pick them up.

*

I am happy to report I made it in,  but am moving

slowly,  I hate that,  cause I had all these things I had

planned to do today.  Well..............Life is what happens

when you are making your plans!!  lol

The Lord obviously must have other plans for me today!

*

Well,  wanted to tell you a lil story about what happened

here on Sunday morning.  I was in the kitchen ironing

something to wear to church,  and I heard this clunky

banging noise a number of times.  At first,  I thought it was

just the scarecrow banner I have on our front door,  it

has a dowel in it and if the wind blows it,  it makes

a lil noise,  but the noise was getting louder and

louder  so I went towards the living room trying to

 discover if maybe it was Joey doing something,

Well,  it wasn't Joey!!

*

Then I heard it again,  it was really loud and kept

banging and banging,  and at first,  I thought our

A/C might be dripping again,  cause it does that

ocassionally when it gets plugged up.

*

Then I could tell it was coming from the front

door,  and I thought man,  the wind must really

be blowing hard this morning,  but when I got

to the door,  I could tell the banging was coming

from the bottom of the door.

*

So I called hubby out of the bedroom and said

I think you better go out thru the garage cause

their is something trying to get in our door I

think.  I wasn't sure if maybe it was a snake

thrashing around or something.

*

Hubby went out,  and it was this cute lil turtle.

We have a brass kick plate at the bottom of our

door,  so think he was seeing his reflection and

thought he saw a hot turtle babe,  and was

going after her!  I could not believe all the

noise he made.  Hubby had already picked

him up and I came with the camera and asked,

can you put him back where you found him

so I can get a shot,  so he tried, but he tumbled

off the doorstep onto his back and I almost

got a shot, but he flipped himself over just

as I clicked the camera.  Pooh!

*

*

Would have made a good shot. Then we took

him over and let him go into the woods. He seemed

quite happy to go!! lol

For an animal that is suppose to be so slow, he

went pretty swiftly off so we could not longer see him.

*

*

I think it is called a "Box Turtle".

We were glad he visited us,

I get such a delightful kick out of stuff like that!

*

God's charming lil surprises,  I just love them!

*

Have a great day,  and if you think about it say

a few prayers for my back.  Our Anniversary

is this weekend and hubby is taking Friday and

Monday off,  and we have plans to go out

Christmas shopping and to dinner on Friday,

and a family celebration on Saturday.

*

Well you have a good one,  thanks for dropping in,

*

Hugs and Blessings,

Nellie
