Watching those animal videos reminded me of this photo - for some reason this photo is one of my favorites to look at when I'm homesick. It has some of my favorite things in it....I love looking at my granite countertops, I love my Martha Stewart melamine mixing bowls, I love having flowering orchid plants in the kitchen, and I love how my cuisinart does what it's told (I definitely abuse the poor thing). I don't necessarily love Mr. Lizard but after growing up in Hilo I'm willing to tolerate a fair amount of critters in my home. Even though Mr. Lizard looks very tropical he is actually an invasive species and he attacks our nice gecko's. One time at a restaurant there was a Mr. Lizard look alike on the lanai railing - I stuck my finger out to him (why do I do these things?!) - he latched on and wouldn't let go!!! I was flailing my hand wildly until the little sucker went flying off onto the hibiscus plant below...
