Visitor

We had a turtle come and visit today.  I think he liked the looks of our garden beds and wanted to come see how things were done over this way!

I'm not too sure he really saw anything though, he didn't seem to be tall enough.

Gertie was very interested in him though, watched him from the window above the desk and then the window by the couch and then this window in the back door.  She really wanted to go out and play but I didn't think that was probably a good idea.  So she stuck by the windows and hoped he would want to come IN and play.  Luckily for me he didn't!

House Guests

So we have a couple of little green things that I would say are living in our carport.  I see them almost every day and they don't really seem to be afraid of us, however they do seem to be afraid of the camera.  I can't ever seem to get a picture of them, I will see them, watch them to see if they are going to sit there and hang around for a bit or if they are just passing by, saying hi, and going about their business.  I have grabbed my camera so many times to try to get a picture of them to come out 30 seconds later and they be gone, and totally gone too, nowhere to be seen or found.
Then yesterday I went to get something out of my car and there he was!  This thing that has been eluding me for weeks now was right there, I almost grabbed ahold of him.  I will admit I kind of jumped and maybe gave a small shriek, but I happened to have my camera within reach and SNAP! I got him!  Isn't he cute?  He is the tiniest little thing and so bright.  I don't know what kind of frog he is but I'm glad to have him around!

Visitor

We had a visitor at our house the other day!

It's amazing what one 4-legged little creature can do to a 5 and 6 year old!!
Oh! and did I mention the 32 year old as well?!

Marching Cicadas

Look what was marching across Grandma and Grandpa's counter!!

bugs!

Yesterday morning as we were hauling all of our bags out of the motel room getting ready to leave Ft Leonard Wood in the humidity that was literally sitting in the air causing us all to sweat just sitting there West discovered this crazy looking bug on the top of the wheel of the Rooster's truck.  Having never seen this bug before West and I discussed what it could possibly be!  We thought maybe a grasshopper at first but decided it's wings were too big and it's body was too small.  We never did decide on what it could be!  Check it out and see what you think...

I am thinking we will have to get a book on local bugs for Georgia!
