Miss Molly and the Turtle

     On a recent weekend, there seemed to be more than the average number of box turtles crossing the road, which made me wonder what was on the other side. Anyway we rescued one that narrowly escaped the tires of our truck and brought it home for the neighbor kids, who love wildlife of any kind. Before we turned him over, however, there was a momentary encounter with Miss Molly. I was a bit cautious because I wasn't quite sure what her reaction would be, but I needn't have worried. She only gave that bold wee reptile a passing glance - sometimes she is just the haughtiest little thing!
