Another beautiful day in North Texas–including a little bit of rain. But, before the rain, in the heat of the day, this fellow was sunning himself in our driveway. I hadn’t seen any of these guys in a while, and I’d just begun to wonder . . . and there he was. I actually walked past him without seeing him on my way down the driveway, and spotted him on my way back to the house. He waited in the same spot, just long enough for me to go inside and get my camera, and take one shot before scurrying away.
I’m actually quite delighted with the photo itself–not bad for the only photo of the day, I’d say.
It’s two a.m. and I’m just on my way to bed. Yesterday I wrote my KRuMB entry so early in the day, I didn’t get to mention two highlights of my day. First, our very nice nearby neighbour Jason, began the three step process of removing the awful cherry laurel tree from our front yard. Already the big difference is light and visibility. The oak tree will ultimately be more healthy and potentially, the grass will get more sunlight and maybe someday we’ll actually have a lawn. The second thing is that we did our usual Tuesday night Trivia session at No Frills, and we had a wonderful time, sharing knowledge and laughs with Brett and Jill and with Sherry. Thank you all for joining us—it was a perfect “unwinder”of an evening! With “no work!”
