Lizards and Lilies

I have several posts rolling around in the "to be done" pile...unfortunately, everything around here has to wait its turn...so I may have to do several posts that are compilations of recent events.

Friday Robbie came home from a business trip (he'd been gone since Monday). He's had several of these lately...so this time...he came home with these...

...they are gorgeous. I don't know that I've ever really had a favorite flower...so I now declare my favorite flower to be...LILIES! Beautiful. The bouquet is huge and has several blooms that haven't opened yet. I remembered my manners and did not ask how much it cost or tell him he should not have. I simply found a vase, arranged them inside, and proceeded to enjoy!

So, lilies are beautiful and lizards are not...but lizards can make for a pretty fun afternoon. I found one today in the bathtub. I must say, of all the creatures I could find...spiders, ants, scorpions, crickets, roaches...well, I just prefer lizards. They are actually kinda neat. So, I plugged the drain to the tub and called the boys to come look. Will took a good look and then went back to his lego creations...but Jackson was up for adventure. We found a piece of "earthy" colored paper and Jackson got the lizard to crawl on. Then he took it outside and gently placed the paper on some wood until the lizard crawled off the paper. It was a good 30 minutes worth of entertainment.

Can you see the lizard?? That's some cool camo he has going on...here's a better shot...
Fun! Did you have anything beautiful or beastly that made you smile today?
