Nature In Our Garden IV

Leapin' Lizards! We've spied these cute little lizards all over our garden before, but today one was sitting right in the middle of our front stoop when we opened the door to go outside. Certainly before you could shout "Leapin' lizards!" Calder had deftly snatched the little critter from the side of the house (yes they--both the lizards and Calder--move quickly) and the boys had a little friend to keep them company. For about an hour the boys took turns holding (probably more like torturing from the lizard's point of view) the poor lizard, whom they named "Leif the lizard," until Stockholm syndrome set in. Before we had them let Leif go, Milo was walking around with Leif on his hand or arm, without the lizard making any attempts to escape. Ah, those charming Weinberg Boys.
