I'm not particularly a fan of reptiles, but these are v. sweet. These little lizards live around my porches. They scamper away when I first open the door, but if I sit quietly, they venture back out. I have one in particular who comes and sits with me, sunning herself. I don't have a picture of it, but she closes her eyes and rests her front legs behind her. So sweet.

P.S. Grasshopper Guy suggested that I call this post Lizard Boredom. I didn't immediately get it, but then he broke it down for me: it's a play on words from Lizzie Borden. Hahaha

Sweetness

Last night I was sitting outside my labyrinth in between the sun set & total darkness. I was watching the deer settle into their beds in the field in front of my house. The night air was fresh (il fait tres frais!) and the crickets began their symphony. Glorious.

On Friday I was walking to my postbox and there was a dear in the field.

And then she followed me. I call her Sweetie (the generic name for all the wild life around here) altho--perhaps her name should be Dearest. Hahaha

I think this week's theme will be Animal Friends in My Backyard.

Sweetness

These are the beautiful flowers from the locust tree. They line my road and permeate the air with a delicious sweetness. When I was growing up, my father kept bees. Locust honey was a family favourite--so YUMMY. I wish you sweetness on this glorious spring day. :-) H.
