Shona

About a week ago Shona, a snapping turtle, came to visit. I first noticed her in the driveway in the warm sand. She stayed there for a while and then she went out into the dirt road. I noticed the school bus was coming down the road. I quickly, slowed down the bus and waited for Shona to go back into our yard. Shona went back into our yard and found a spot under a birch tree in the sand, at the edge of the driveway. She stayed there for about 5 or 6 hours. I went out once and told her I would pray for her. I knew she was about to lay her eggs. She had dug a hole and was sitting in the hole.

That evening I went out to check on Shona. She had left and the hole was now covered up with dirt and sand. Shona had laid her eggs. Immediately, I said a prayer for her and told her I would watch over her eggs and pray for her babies. I am not sure how long it takes for the eggs to hatch. I pray for them everyday. God bless Shona, her babies and all turtles.

God bless all animals.
