The Saga of the Road Turtle.
Spotted, mid road crossing, near my driveway. Kindly helped to cross safely. Knocked, but no one answered. The door to the shell was solidly shut. Came back an hour later for a welfare check. Now half buried under pine needles, actively digging deeper. Hibernation? Shy?
