AND a tub update...AND a butterfly...AND the orb...AND the moon.
milo...
has been guarding the bathroom.
ok. so she's on a break.
guarding is hard work.
WHY is she guarding the bathroom?
because milo was completely and utterly devastated when we yanked out the tub.
the bath tub was HER watering hole.
either outside rain puddles or inside tub puddles...have always been her choice
for quenching her thirst.
so she sits where the tub used to be. waiting...and guarding.
she'll be a little surprised, because we decided to go for a shower rather than another tub.
remember what the floor looked like when we first pulled the tub?
ugh.
next step...pulling the walls down. dehumidifying the leakage. bleaching the floor.
and here we are now. floor fixed. cleaned. sam has re-routed the pipes UNDER the floor...
where they should have been. yay sam!!
OK.
next update will be when it's finished.
oOo
let's get outa here!

the other day i spotted a lizard (anole) on the windowsill.
i thought he was just peeking in the house.
not exactly.
look closer...
at his butt!!
lizard poop!
nice of him to let it drop over the edge!!
SO considerate!!
oOo
the Azaleas are STILL blooming!
even with all the rain & wind...not ALL the flowers have dropped...
and the butterflies are still feeding on them!

oOo
it's interesting to watch our nocturnal Orb Weaver.
after darkness sets in...she comes out of her daytime hiding place...
a bell on a wind chime, on the front porch.
she sits there...deciding what the weather will be that night.
if it's to be a cold one, then she retreats back into her bell.
(how does she KNOW??!)
but if she senses a warmer night...she gets busy weaving her web.
she sure is getting big!
oOo
aaaaaaahh.
the magic of the full moon last night.
