The Lizard

One of the most fascinating things about living where I do now is the lizards. They crawl all over my front porch, they burrow through my mulch and remind me of the thing in the movie Tremors ( but much smaller and so friendly ). I love to watch the lizards, they drink from my bird bath, crawl across my feet and perch on top of my water bottle. One morning as I opened the front door to go to work there is this little green lizard standing on the door saddle. I guess I startled him as much as he did me because we both froze looking at each other. I expected him to get up on his hind legs and in an Aussie accent start talking to me about car insurance ( which I wish he had because I'm sure I'm paying way too much ). But he didn't he crawled right into the house. I was late for work because I had to find him so that the cat didn't. I found him in the coat closet and scooped him up and put him outside. I laughed all the way to work thinking about him, sometimes I really wonder about my sanity, it's those silly things that make my day.
