And I spotted this gal in the middle of our lawn this afternoon ... I heard from previous owners that she lays her eggs under our deck and we caught her heading back to the stream. I don't know how big turtles get in this neck of the woods but to me she seemed big ... maybe the size of a large roasting pan.

So this prompted me to ask my husband, how do turtles survive our winters? Anyone know? Do they hibernate?
