No, Sir Gnome is not on time out or in need of a naughty chair. On the contrary, he is baking his broad backside in the sunlight to charge the batteries that power the light in his white cap so it will be able to illuminate the patio from his perch on a table topContinue reading “Sunbathing”

I Caught My Eye
I was working on the blog when suddenly a shadowy movement caught my eye; it was me! Sunlight through the window cast my silhouette onto the closet doors and even put a twinkle in my eye.

It was a fortuitous moment as sunlight passed through door panes, illuminated flowers, and cast their shadows upon the wall. Within minutes the scene had vanished.

When I approached to offer assistance it jumped back into theContinue reading “Leapin’ Lizard!”
