Garden Surprise

All the time I spend in the garden is reaping some unexpected surprises -


like spying a little chameleon on the lavender plant next to the swimming pool Sunday morning. He has been much photographed and watched since then. Michael realized this morning that he is molting -wow.
While the photos make him look large - it is about 1 1/2 inches in body length with an equal length of skinny tail. He moves very slowly and deliberately and today I held a branch for him to move onto with those amazing prehensile feet -note close-up of same! I hope he stays for awhile.



Otherwise life continues much the same - lots of gardening, dog walks, swimming and enjoying life. We are attending another Rotary meeting this evening and hope soon to get involved in one of their on-going community projects. It is the first meeting of the year.

We are dog sitting for our friends the Scheids - their sweet old dog Buster is a lovely little companion. Buster is 14 and a bit deaf but a very happy fella who is not bothered by Emma's non-sociability because he simply cannot hear her give him a growl!
