critter

This morning I got a call from DH.  He was in the sideyard cleaning up some dead plants and told me to come see the lizard he almost squashed.

I ran outside.  I forgot the camera and had to run back in.  Luckily, it is chilly outside and that lizard wasn't running anywhere.  He was still there when I returned.








Texas Spiny Lizard, I think.  From head to tail, he was longer than my foot.  Pretty cool!

And Kristin - he was no where near the inside of my house.  No worries there!

Nest

Friday night the boys were playing in the backyard at the cousins' house. B found a cool bird's nest under the tree.  The bottom was full of plastic bits and fluff.  It was very neat to see how they build a nest with anything they find.
