I Am Getting Braver

Usually when I see a critter inside the house, one that does not belong, i.e., gecko, lizard, frog, toad, snake, etc., I scream and call for Wayne to grab whatever it is and throw it outside.

Well, I saw a gecko, screamed, yelled for Wayne, but I was worried he wouldn't get there in time and that it would hide, and that would mean worrying all night that it might jump on me, so.... I got a Kleenex and carefully wrapped it around the little gecko.  It took a couple of tries, with accompanying screams, but I finally caught it and threw it outside.  Who knew I'd be getting braver as I aged?

Witch's Fingers

My friend, Renata, brought me witch's fingers that she baked for the Halloween party.  When I took the foil off the plate, I screamed!

They look realistic, don't they?

A Snake, a Frog, and a Lizard

I don't know what the deal is with the reptiles and amphibians in my neighborhood, but within the last two days, I saw a garter snake when I was pulling weeds in my garden, pulled the mail out of the mailbox this afternoon and found a green tree frog on one of the envelopes, and finally (I hope), opened the door to the patio to feed the cats only to have a lizard try to leap on me from the screen door.  Those who know me will be very surprised to hear that I did not scream!!!
