So the other day I was puttering around in my room, and I heard Megan shut the back door. A few minutes later she let out this absolute scream. Horrible thoughts rushed through my mind as I hurried outside to see what in the world was going on. "Mom, there's a TURTLE in our pond!" she said. Now, we've had ducks many times, and a lot of snakes, too, but this was our first turtle. He/she was trying to hide, but I spied him out, and it looks like it is a red eared slider turtle -- not originally native to Utah, but now found here due to release of pets. Our turtle may move on at some point, but for now...we have a turtle.
