Spiders are the things that make my skin crawl. I make sure those nasty things are no where near the house. I have to work at it to keep them away though. They don't seem to like the outdoors because they are always trying to get inside! We had a nasty couple of years with tent caterpillars. They seem to have moved on as we have not seen them for a couple of years now. I hope never to have to deal with them again. It's the little creepy bug things that bother me.
I think Gracie gets plenty of protein without eating lizard tails!  I'm sure she would love to give it a try though. I don't mind the reptiles visiting but I would hate to have to take one out of her mouth. That is why she is not on cleaning detail after it has rained for a few hours. |
They remind me of an English couple in the way their house and grounds look and the way they are always gardening and having their tea outside in their wicker chairs. But they are both from Texas and just Anglophiles to the max. Sure do have a pretty place.
