Skinky Saturday

LAZ:  I CAUGHT something!  In, as I cant go outsd yet.  Marly call it a snink, um skink.

The Big Thibg  noticed I was pawing aroun in cornrs and came over ta look.   I foun a wigly thing inside!

I folowed it an pawed it a bit.

Marly come over ta see what I was doin.  That when he tole me it was a skink.  An sed he wud show me what ta do.  

Whiat meant he grabbed it a tuk it away.  Hey!

But I did notice he picked it up in his mouth.  Like what I been doibg ta toys and I gess that is why I do that...

OMC!  There are 2 of them...

I grabbed the near one and Marly grabbed the other.

TBT HERE:  I have to smile at this.  Marley, the "experienced" hunter, got fooled by the wriggly tail, leaving Laz the skink itself.  Marley ate his prize and went away.  Laz tried to figure out what to do with the actual skink for a while.  He eventual lost interest.  I think he might not know what to do with "food that moves", LOL!

I took pity on it and dropped it over the deck rail into a shady weedy area to recover.  Maybe they will meet again someday...

SKINK!

IZA:  We found a skink in the house today!

And then there were suddenly 2 of it.  I chased the wriggly little thing down the stairs (forgive the bad picture).

And TBT smiled about it as he walked out on the deck and tossed something into the shrubberies.  And he said I might meet it again someday.  How can that be?  I ATE it!  Marley even saw me eat it...

Garden Tour Thursday

Well, Ayla and I are going in to prepare the snacks, and to let Iza out ta do the tour!  We DO cooperate about this stuff...

Um, we DO need TBT ta open the door though.

IZA:  Well, finally!  Its been a few weeks hasn't it?   The big pot near the watererer hose is doing good.  The Marigolds are falling all over the sides, so they seem happy.  TBT waters them every couple days.  Quite frankly, when HE waters, WE all run inside.  Its safely dry there...

But afterwards, *I* come out.  Look at the  nice Yellow Zinnia pot...

 The hanging Yellow Zinnia Pot...

The Neat Threesome.  Caladiums with  Yellow Marigolds and the 2 littler pots with Orange Zinnias...

The multicolor pot in Pinwheel Zinnias.  There are 5 colors in there and only 4 plants!  I think, mebbe, possibly.

 This one isnt doing so well.  Nice Orange marigolds, but not many of them.

The tomato surprise pot has been a real surprize.  Nice orange Zinnias an a Red Salvia in the middle, but no tomatoes...  First time THAT hasnt werked I can remember...

And down below, ya can see part of the flower circle .  They were the leftovers an so got planted late.  They ARE getting their flowers blooming, but iffen they had got planted earlier, they would be WAY bigger. 

Well, as I tell TBT, he can't plant everything at once.  I'm bein kind.  He SHOULD plant everything at once.  He just didnt know they were going there this year.  And they wont next year cuz the lilies are gonna take over.

I've kept ya all up on the deck fer a reason.  IM HUNGRY and this is where the food comes.

Oh Bast, Ayla and Marley are bringin it out now.  We have bacon.  Soft on the left, crunchy on the right.  We have pork shoulder.  We have SHRIMPS O M C, and Niptinis and Meowgaritas...
OH Bast, Marley even brought a skink...

Not a typical meal inside.  Lets get at it...

Caturday Saturday

MARLEY:  We got that skink!  Well, or one like it.

I snuck it into the house when TBT wasnt looking.  Well, its the only way.  He actively resists us bringing in stuff we will eat and then throw up.  For some reason...

But when we succeed, he WILL take pictures before he tosses it back out on the deck.  He says we are welcome ta eat it outside and throw up THERE.  It does mean we arent allowed back inside fer at least 30 minutes though.

He says iffen we keep annything down that long it will probly stay down.  Hes usally right about that.  Usally...

Deck Thrills

This is the easiest guessing-game ever!  Mebbe...

Where's the skink?

Skink

IZA: We found a SKINK in the house this morning!  None of us brought it in.  TBT says mebbe it was lookin fer shelter from all the rain we had the past few days.

But that wasnt a good idea.  It lost its tail and then we dedded it!
