Well, "country" life has been great, but we are starting to be overrun! On Wednesday I spotted a dead cockroach (of pretty good size!) in our apartment. This certainly didn't make me happy.
Then the next morning, my countertop was covered in ants! I spent half my morning vacuuming them up!
Then that afternoon, my mom spotted a lizard which had made its new home under my hope chest! I was lucky enough to spot him that afternoon, and was very glad to have the heads up from Mom.
This morning, we spotted the little guy again. I grabbed a broom and Stuart grabbed a jar, and we attempted to catch him so that we could move him to a better home outside. He run under another trunk. We decided to move it in order to find him. All that was left was part of his tail! I felt that we had hurt him, but Stuart assured me that they were able to pop off part of thier tale in order to free themselves from predators.
Still, we looked for him for quite a while and were unable to find him.
This afternoon Aunt Lisa and Jimmy came over. And, although I was not in the room at that time, Jimmy spotted the Mr. Henry the Lizard. (A combination of Mr. Lizard and Henry - the names Stuart and I had chosen for the little guy.) They chased him onto the laminate floor where he could get no traction. Stuart grabbed him and plopped him in the jar for a safe relocation to the wide outdoors.
Still, I am thikning what is next!?!? Squirrels? Birds? Mice? (shiver!)
Then on the road coming home from Louisville we came across a kamakaze cat, deer, rabbit, some sort of mongoose creature, and even a man in the road! Crazy! We were just waiting for a giraffe to peak up from the tree tops!
Move to the country and you will slowly but surely become Dr. Doolittle! Ha! Well, not that we don't like it here, we do very much!
