Paul and I found a turtle - see picture- in our pond.  I went and got Bill Gottschalk to tell us what kind it was and get a little friendly support.  I asked him in all sincerity how he thought the turtle could have made its way to our pond.  He said he didn't know and hemmed and hawed and finally said he really didn't know - maybe Doug did.  Are you catching on yet?

Well apparently this turtle was in the street and they (Bill and Doug) decided we didn't have any fish in our pond and the turtle was near dead, so to revive it they would put it in our pond.  We weren't home and no one left a message and we didn't see anyone this morning to tell us of the turtle's existence.  Well we finally got the turtle (he had gotten out of the pond and was trying to get under the fence behind all the evergreen trees behind our pond) and managed to put him in a box.  I had figured out Doug was behind all of this, so I took the box, left it on Doug's doorstep, rang the bell and ran away.   I hid around the corner of the house and heard Doug answer the door and seeing the turtle, begin to laugh. 

Doug carried the turtle out to the street and we all gathered for a good laugh.

Only in Alexa do 60+ year old folks think and act like 6th graders.  I do love it so.
