Almost NOVEMBER...

 My friend Caryn is finally back from her summer visits with family and has decorated her home for FALL. Just love all the colors, sunflowers, pumpkins, etc. Even the pillows on her couch reflect the season. We spend our Wednesdays going to lunch, shopping a little and talking lots. Love this time.

LOOKING for AUTUMN

 It seems we in our area of SW Utah are the last to see autumn leaves. Just now our leaves are starting to change colors not to orange and red but to purple and brown. I miss the mountains and all the fall foliage.

No autum leaves here in our red cliffs

Fruit stands are about empty of summer fruit

Melons, apples and pumpkins abound

Now this looks like AUTUMN

Remember the LOST LIZARD in our computer room?

My hubby found the lizard-he's very good at finding anything I lose like my purse, keys, etc. Well, when we went to sit down at our dining room table, Allen went over to close the blinds and of course looked down in a wooden bowl in the corner and what did he see? THE LOST LIZARD...found ALIVE and he was released outside safely by my compassionate hubby. He even releases bees found inside and some spiders but not flies or mosquitoes or mice. So nice to have a man around the house...lol! What excitement are you having around your house during these days of corona virus?

See the three legged iron rod stand with wooden bowl.

Inside the bowl was a small lizard not moving

But when released outside, he took off...

WILD LIFE in St. George

 Besides the Corona Virus which is lurking, we have some scary wild life in our back yard including a road runner and hawk who took over our bird bath and no birds have returned. Also the other day, hubby found a tiny lizard that somehow got into our house and is hiding in the computer room some where. How do you catch a tiny lizard who is hiding under desks, etc. You can't set a mouse trap because lizards probably don't like peanut butter or cheese and hubby wants to catch the lizard and release it outside BUT that will be a challenge. I imagine one day in super cleaning we'll come about a dried fossilized lizard in a corner...

One of the few birds we saw before the hawk took over

That's a hawk sitting in the bird bath lurking

He's big and dangerous, caught a dove and had a tasty meal of it.

Road runner on the lawn looking for snacks


I'd never seen roadrunners till we moved to St. George-they like little snacks like bugs and lizards. More dangerous than the corona virus to insects and small critters are larger predators. Guess we all have our challenges.
