One afternoon a week or so ago I was sitting at the computer when the security system notified me of action going on outside.
I was not expecting anyone, groceries or packages. I checked to see what was going on out in the front of the house.
To my surprise one of these cute little guys was on the doorbell camera. I was unable to get a good clear photo of him. He would look straight at the camera, lick it, look again and lick it. He did that a few times before leaving.
Wasps have visited me via the camera several times, but this was a first for an Anole.
Above photo is similar to the little lizards on the ramp.
My yard has always had a lot of Anoles, Skinks and Lizards. I love having them and enjoy watching them.
Every now and then I will see a lizard with part or all of its tail missing. It amazes me that they grow back. But that is the way God made for them to escape from predators.
All of God’s creatures great and small I love them all.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Hugs and blessings to you all.
When I put out the post about the water hose I had no idea that my sweet neighbor would be coming to help me. This past weekend I needed someone to come quickly. After watering part of the backyard I walked around to the front yard to turn off the water. The spigot had stopped working and I could not turn off the water. I called my next door neighbor and he came over to help. The water needed to be turned off at the meter and being the weekend the water department was closed.
My neighbor came up with an idea and it worked. It was a temporary fix. He told me what I needed to fix it where it would give me no more issues. I ordered the part that was needed and it arrived on Tuesday. The temporary fix was working so I was in no hurry to have someone attach the part to the spigot.
On Thursday I ordered groceries. When the man delivered my groceries. He said ” Did you know that your water hose has a hole in it and water is flowing out?” No, I did not know and I had no idea what I was going to do next, but I was depending on the Lord as always to help me.
I had no idea how long the water had been flowing out of the hole in the hose. It was watering the flowerbed very well so water was not wasted. I am thankful for that.
I called the water department to see if they would send someone to turn off the water at the meter. Only to find out that all the men were busy on a dig, but someone would be out to turn it off as soon as possible. Less than ten minutes later a very nice man came to turn off the water. He turned the water off at the meter then he put the splitter that I had purchased on the spigot for me. He then turned the water back on and it worked great.
He told me the same thing happened with the spigot at his house and he put a splitter on his. I found out today the man that came to turn off the water and put on the splitter was the manager of the water department. He saved me from having to go without water.
The three men were there at the right time to help when I needed someone to help.
A few weeks ago I had decided I needed a lighter weight and shorter hose to use for watering the front yard. I had opened the package and checked out the hose, but had not yet used it. The hose with a turn off valve on the end turned out to be just what was needed for the temporary fix.
This is one of those many times The Lord knows way before we do what we are going to need. I am so grateful. So many blessings it is impossible to count them.
