Lizard eggs

These are not on the breakfast menu.

While cleaning our window screens I found quite a few lizard eggs sheltered in the window casings. We are watching some of them to see if they will hatch or if they are duds. If any of them do hatch, I will try to get picts of the baby lizards before Caleb makes their tails fall off by handling them too much. What a welcome that will be into their new world!

What's that sound?

The past couple weeks we have heard what sounds like a distant chainsaw from our backyard. It actually was a multitude of bees and other flying insects feasting at the avocado tree. It is covered with tiny blossoms.

It's too bad that our family doesn't really like avocados. Quacamole is ok once in a while. We know plenty of people who willingly take our abundance. And the dogs eat the soft ones too.

By the time I figured out how to run John's high-tech camera, most of the blossoms were gone along with many of the insects, but I was able to catch (with the camera that is) this bee on the first try! Our simple point and shoot camera is out of batteries and we haven't invested in more yet.

Happy Father's Day
