Fall is here!

Yes, it has happened. Today finally feels like fall (or winter - they are pretty much the same here in Texas)...the temp was well below 70 degrees, the leaves on the trees in the back yard are finally turning colors, and the "big story" on the news was that everyone was out buying winter coats. Anyway, I was rounding up the summer stuff for storage and noticed that this little family of lizards has moved into our umbrella. Aren't they cute?



Don't worry...I decided to leave it out all winter. I can't evict them.















And look at the gorgeous sunset we had this evening.














Ok, that's enough of Mother Nature. More of my usual silliness tomorrow.

P.S. I told my friend Kim that I was going to post this joke to my blog. She spammed me with it today and it actually made me laugh.

A woman scanned the guests at a party and spotted an attractive man standing alone. She approached him. "My name is Carmen," she told him.

"That's a beautiful name," he said. "Is it a family name?"

"No," she replied. "I gave it to myself. It reflects the things I like most - cars and men. What's your name?"

"Beerboobies," he said.

Lizards in your umbrella. Now that's a possibility that never occurred to me! (I love that you're going to leave them be.)

Love your sunset!

EEwwwwwwwwwwwww to the lizards.

I love how when it's 95+ degrees up here (in NY), it's a state of emergency; and when it's below 70 down there, people buy winter coats.

I chuckled at that joke too :)

We have a family of lizards right outside our front door. They particularly like my festive wreath. I left them there too so that they can eat the giant mosquitoes that are sucking us dry. :(

I'm loving the cold snap. Finally I can wear my snug hot pink Muppet fur socks without disapproving eyes.

There's a baby born at our church last month and they named him Braden. Gag. Gag. Gag. It's supposed to be pronounced BRAYDEN, I guess, but its a sucky spelling. All I can think of is the compund words with BRA and DEN. One day he can grow up to tell this joke and inform people that his two loves in life are Bras and Dens. Especially having bras strewn all over his den!
