Daisy Was After…

  By

a lizard!!  Now, please, let me explain. Daisy has never shown any interest in lizards before. She has had plenty of opportunity but never seemed to notice or care. I think this one caught her eye because it was trespassing in her house. She had been laying down sleeping (or so I thought) when she sprang up at full alert! It was a small green anole. It did get away but I have no idea where its final whereabouts are.  She has not cared for any lizards she has seen outside since either.

 

And thanks for your information regarding comments to Blogger blogs. I guess I will just keep using my Blogger profile!

Hey There!

So, what do you think had Daisy so captivated in this picture?  (I’ll post the answer in the next day or two).

 

Also, I have a question for you. For WordPress self hosters -how do you post comments on blogger blogs? Right now I’m using my blogger profile but I wished it’d direct people to my blog. I tried to get an openid but lets say that was a disaster! Any other ideas?

There is a Fungus Among Us!

  By

No, I’m not talking about skin issues thank goodness! It rained here this week and for the first time since I’ve been here, the back yard has all sorts of mushrooms growing!  The toadstool was just HUGE!  Eight or Nine inches high. The little brown ones range from a centimeter to a couple inches wide. They have a traditional shape but look like potato chips scattered on the ground when they blow their spores.  The white ball fungus is literally only a half a centimeter wide. It was just a baby. They grow to an inch or two in diameter, then when you step on them there is a little poof of spores.

When Daisy threw up this week I for a fleeting second was worried she might have partaken of the mushrooms, but it was just her normal run of the mill nausea issues.

 

New Adventures

  By

So, Grandpa and I took Daisy to a spring today. This one is best to get to by boat. This meant a long, fast ride across a lake and she did great! We all had a great morning lounging and watching everyone in their boats enjoying the water and warm sun. Springs are where water comes right out of the aquifer.  The water is clear and 72-74 degrees all year-long. Daisy loved watching all the people and was fascinated by the fish in the water. Of course, not enough to actually get in the water.

Hey, where are we?

Hmm…a spring run!

Lets look for a place to park the boat!

Hmm..you can see all the fishes!

But I’d rather look into the trees for squirrels.

There is a lot to look at here…

It’s like a Redneck Yacht Club (a country song, again)

Wow, all this activity has made me tired!

Time to head back home!
