Ok...I have both seen and heard of the occasional "deer crossing" and the rare "moose crossing" and every so often I have even come across one of those adorable "duck crossing" signs, but never before in my life have I seen a turtle crossing! Exactly how long does it take a turtle to cross the road? Would it or could it cause a country turtle traffic Jam? Would they radio the town Sherriff to come and direct all the turtle traffic?
I find it so interesting how different things are around here and we are only 2 hours from Boston! I love the contrast between the city and the country. For instance, in the city, walking alone at night may not be wise because a creeper might mug you; however, in the country, walking alone at night may not be wise because a bear might eat you. In the city one may worry about making it to the mall before it closes; however, in the country, it's very simple...there is no mall!
Other than the turtle crossing, P & I have seen many, many, things in these parts that both baffle us along with putting a big smiles on our faces. From time to time throughout our blog cabin adventure I will throw one of these "interesting country sightings" in for you to ponder over as we do. All these little country quirks and differences are what made P and I fall in love with this area in the first place. Now, along with breaking for moose and for the deer and for the ducks, P & I can also say...we break for turtles;)

ReplyDeleteHow long does it take to cross? In these them parts, it depends....if you get out of your car and move it, or get a stick and move it along, if its snapper.
ReplyDeleteGloria...I just saw one today and I got out and moved him! No stick required because it was just a painter:)
ReplyDeleteSomeone stole one of the turtle signs. They did find it tossed in the woods down the road. I guess some folks don't like slowing down for turtles.
