"Durdle"

Mason and I were getting ready to run some errands this morning when I saw something in the road in front of our house. Being curious, I walked to the street to see what it was. It was a turtle...and not just any turtle...a huge snapping turtle that had obviously just climbed out of the creek in our front yard. Being kind, I tried to "push" him with my foot back towards the creek. He was not so kind. Anyone who says turtles are slow lies. This thing was running!! He turned around and was coming back towards the house. He ended up on some rocks beside the driveway. I decided to leave him there. I hope he continues to travel "down-stream" and not make a permanent residence in my yard. Mason thought is was very interesting...and hence came the new word for the day..."durdle"!!!
