Little Lizard

Yesterday was a fine day to be outside so that's where we spent the afternoon. The weather's been getting cooler and cooler so it's getting easier to find lizards out sunning themselves on walls and rocks. You're always fascinated with them and love to point them out everytime you spot them.

So we found a little (baby?) lizard on the steps of the slide... and try as it might to find a route of escape from us, it was trapped. So we were able to watch it for a while, and you were able to even "pet" it a little bit. The hardest part was keeping Bella away -- she kept trying to swoop in and pick it up in her teeth!

After a couple minutes, I decided we'd scared that poor little lizard enough and sort of pushed him to an escape route, and he darted away.

You soon thereafter wanted to find our little lizard friend again, so we went looking over on the stone wall... but he wasn't there. Then you thought perhaps he was in his "home," the hole in the ground beneath the pine tree... so you went there and beckoned for him to come out:



We never did see him again, but I'm sure we'll be looking for him next week. And I bet we'll find him again.
