Since Sunday we've had a new friend in our backyard. A skink! Daddy and his disc golfing (otherwise known as "frisbee golf" or "frolf" to us poo-pooing spouses) buddies happened upon this poor skink caught in an empty beer bottle on the disc golf course at Earlewood Park. The skink quickly found a lovely habitat in our backyard, as well as a name: "Lece" (pronounced "Lee-sie"). And little Lece has made trips to both Milo's and Calder's schools. Catching insects and worms to feed Lece has been our favorite pastime as of late. We apparently have a lot of slugs in our yard. Who knew? Lece especially loves to eat "Palmetto" bugs and worms (think slurping spaghetti). Fun times.

oh my! Must be skink season! We had two in our backyard yesterday! I wasn't brave enough to catch them for show and tell, though... Totally cool. Love the pic!
ok, now that i know what it is, definitely very icky.
UPDATE: Skink's Stay Suggests Stockholm Syndrome
Yesterday evening we liberated the skink from his plastic storage container habitat on the patio. "You're free" we told him.
He was still hanging around it this morning.
