Turtles & Ground Hogs

So the other day we found this turtle in our yard. 


I think one of our favorite things about living in the woods is seeing all of God's creatures up close and personal.  Except maybe the ground hog.  I don't really like seeing him up close.  Nor do I like him in my garden.  But first back to the turtle.  We followed him around for awhile.  He was actually very quick.  The kids and Andy looked him up on the internet, but I forget what kind of turtle they said he was.  We let him run free into the woods. 

But as for the ground hog... He was eating down my sunflowers one by one and then we caught him in the sugar snaps. I read online that they don't like the smell of other animals urine, so I gave the boys a one time pass to pee on my sunflowers.  That got rid of the pest for about 2 weeks.
