They're baaaack

We've been experiencing some glorious weather lately. I know, I know, the worst day in Southern California would be preferable to a "nice winter day" most places, but it's all relative. On Sunday afternoon we were sitting outside and Bub wanted go inside and we said NO because it was so nice outside we didn't want to leave.

There appear to be some unfortunate side effects to this change.



Do you see him (her?) In the summer we're overrun with these bad boys. They sun themselves on my patio furniture and then, when they've had enough, they settle in for a nap right behind the pillows only to make an appearance right when you least expect it. One jumped into my husband's lap last summer and I've never sat on that chair since. And if you startle them? They JUMP.

This is not fair. It's only February. Shouldn't these bastards still be hibernating, or slithering south or doing whatever it is they do when it gets cold? Have they been fooled into a false Spring? Forecast calls for rain this weekend guys, run, RUN!

A word to the wise: Should you find yourself in the same predicament, Do. Not. Google. You will be met with up close photos. Also? It would appear that many people are trying to remove lizards FROM THEIR HOMES. Mark my words, should a lizard ever find it's way into my home I will burn this place to the ground.
