Hail In Florida?

This past Saturday, I was having a very nice nappy on our lanai, when all of a sudden, there was this horrendous noise! I got off my chaise lounge, and went to look out the window, to see what was causing this noise. Mom said it was hail! OMD! I never saw or heard the likes of it before!

The three of us ventured slowly out the door. I was kinda skeered myself. The lanai and carport, both have a metal roof, and the hail made it sound like we were being shot at! OK, so maybe being shot at is a bit of an exaggeration, but it sure was terrifying! It lasted about 15 


minutes! My folks picked me up and carried me into the house, as I was trembling so. (another exaggeration!) Here, you can see me on my Mom's lap, getting all kinds of attention after that skeery ordeal! So that was the highlight of my weekend! How was yours?
Happy Monday, Miss Mindy

More Back Yard Friends

I have been told that this is a male gecko, he is trying to attract a female here, by showing the thingy on his throat.

Believe it or not, they are a lot of fun to watch. They are always chasing each other all around.

And, we also have seen them in different colors. Black, dark brown, light brown, green and one even had a blue colored tail!

They seem to love our entire yard, running all over, and through the pretty flowers.
