I am surrounded

Okay, enough already!

When we moved into our house in FL, you couldn't walk out the front door to the driveway and not see at least half a dozen lizards scattering about. I actually liked this then, and still do now. I enjoy watching them and Natalie loves to chase them.

When I found the lizard in my shopping cart, I impressed myself by my calmness.

However, when moving the couch in our living room today to try out a newly purchased rug from Costco, along with the expected dust bunnies, was a dead and slightly petrified lizard. ew! Thank god for Dean as there was NO WAY I was going to touch that.

I shudder to think what else, deal or alive is roaming in my house.

You've Got Mail

Well, Dean actually. He was greeted by this big daddy a couple days ago.





Meanwhile, this afternoon I discovered that only in Florida can you be walking out to your mailbox to post a letter, startle at the lizard in the mailbox enough to jump and have a total stranger who happens to be walking by right at that moment say "lizard?" and smile. Gotta love the lifestyle here.
