Mother Day Love, Psycho Mom, and Skinks

Just finished up yesterday's blog and 

posted it and getting a 

head start on today's.

This was Mothers Day...

Misty must have known it 

was a special day so she 

is giving me some special loving.

About the time she reached

4, she stopped being a cuddle bug so 

I take the cuddles when I can.

She says, "mom can't be serious,"

but if you notice, her face NEVER

changes, she is the serious one.

Big difference between her and Lily,

Lily's eyes show all sorts of things making

her facial expression change depending

in her mood.

Speaking of Lily, 

my Mothers Day gift from her

was she allowed me to lay beside.

LOL...

I don't joke.

Not only do I battle catitude

there is that tori mix in there 

also. 

I can see my kids saying this.

I have some railroad ties that

lay along side part of my driveway.

I have a frog living under there.

I had to stop the mower one day 

and again the next the weeder, to 

get him out of the way.

Then the other day while messing with

stepping stones, 

I had a tiny baby frog jump

out in front of me.

It's only about an inch long.

But it's the skinks

that are funny. They run anytime

one sees me, but lately that seem

to be darting out in front of 

me and of course, I jump.

This afternoon, walking at to 

the shed this guys is sitting

right on a stepping stone

and in no hurry to move.

T

Google tells me that this skink is

a five lined skink.

 

This one just sat there,

allowing me to 

bent closer to take a pic of it.

In Tn. we have five

different kinds of skink.

I did not take these pics, 

I got them from Google.

These are the five types of 

skinks found in Tennessee.

This is a Coal Skink

 

Five Lined Skink

Southeastern Five Lined

Broad head skink

Little Brown skink

And if that is not enough, I 

have had a bunny under the shed one 

year. But a week ago, I was

stepping out of the screen part

of the deck to the porch when I 

saw movement, moving fast.

I did not get a pic but it was 

a 

chipmuck and he 

ran under the shed. 

Course, the girls would have 

a ball in the yard.

Lily would anyway, Misty has

no desire what so ever about

stepping out of her

comfort zone.

Do you have skink where you live?

What about chipmucks?
