Oh! When I pulled in last night, I managed to find a newt (I'm not up on my amphibians, but I think it was a firebelly- coppery on top, didn't really look at his belly) sitting under DGF's car, looking up at me. Never saw 'em like that in WI, so it got exceptional amounts of attention and adoration. (probably as much as the fist-sized toads who love nothing more than to leak when picked up)
...God, I've got to go back to school. That wildlife bio major keeps laughing at me from the parallel universe where I actually *got* it.

Bats!
Ranger at the Tuolomne campfire told the most amazing native american legend about how the bat came to be. Basically a squirrel who got all his fur burned off and was blinded trying to save the sun. Lovely story.Sarah

Oddly enough, we don't get toads/frogs in our yards, at least in our hood. Don't know why. Another thing I miss. Think I need a water feature in the garden to get them. I love them, and I love lizards too. Had to look up "anole" on the net--they look cool.
SK, how very nice to hear about your dad's test results. Know there are still problems but at least you and he got that big dose of relief.
CWR---I am sorry. That is hard stuff. Ugh, life is quite amazing in its range from fabulousness to ...pick your antonym.... Thank God for the fabulousness, though. Those little lizards and watermelon-eating cats and Bubbas and favorite-body-parts all go in the mix too.
Nanci, world peace will only come with simultaneous eating of WARM chocolate pudding. That's the rule. Something to work towards, I feel.
Someone on TD is VERY WOUND UP TONIGHT, KNOTTED YET. MISS GIDDY PERSON. Have a great time, girl! Bettin' you will.

SK - hope things continue to look up for your Dad
Toad wanters: My toad just showed up one day, after I'd had my garden in for about a year - all organic, no sprays/poisons of any kind. Mine lived in the bottom of one of those self watering pots. (Which meant I could not fill it up and use the self watering feature, for fear of drowning the toad)

And now, on a note of total frivolity...
I just bought the most entertaining new shower cap. My old one gave up the ghost, elastically speaking, so I went looking for something new and different to keep my hair out of a bath. I got the apricot one. It's a hoot!

This is what stressed-out people do late at night. We take our fun where we can find it, by God.

Salsa -- Did you check out the glitter bra straps? Might have to invest in some, myself, to use with my va-voom padded pushup bra! ;-) The glow-in-the-dark mint ones are my favorites.

I was thinking about the black diamonte bra straps myself.
