Love the photos of the lizard and especially the dragonfly on the peach, now how cool is that? I also enjoyed your outdoor tour, and the sound of the water in the background. We are enlarging our little pond so it will be interesting to see how many more frogs and fish we will have in it.

This was a bit of serendipity, since you commented on my blog a while back when I first started out. I don't know how you found my little blog, but your comment meant so much. I love your book already and and can't wait to share it with my little great niece.

I'm glad you're feelin...Hello Dear Sharon,<br /><br />I'm glad you're feeling better now. Sweet little tatered butterfly. Cutie pie little lizard. Lately I've been playing hide and seek with a blue tailed lizard who likes to hang out around my strawberry jar. Sometimes when I water the sedums growing in the jar, she (I chose to decide that she is female) pops out from the top and scurries away. I think she must know that I won't be there long, so she doesn't go far. She inspired me to paint one of those plastic lizards that you can pick up at the dollar store a shiny gold and I embellished her with glittery jewels. I even painted her toenails bright pink. She's quite gaudy and I've named her Is-a-Bella Liz-ard because she is very beautiful to me. I pin her on my shoulder and she goes to the grocery store with me sometimes.<br /><br />I've been petting the leopard frogs who live near my fish pond. I have to sneak up on them and rub their backs...they think I'm mating with them, I expect. The leopard frogs are so wonderful. Do you know that you are responsible for my studying frogs and toads much more intently? Thank you for that.<br /><br />Also been watching alot of cocoons hoping to see something emerge. I need to research to see what kind of cocoons they are...I think and hope they are praying mantises.<br /><br />Can hardly wait for your new book!!<br /><br />Love from Diane in North CarolinaJimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620266780624532300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-14895728307557610092011-06-14T08:08:08.093-07:002011-06-14T08:08:08.093-07:00sorry to hear you have been sick, Sharon.

I think I mentioned her before and the fact I was so very happy you were writing the book as I couldn't find a bird book appropriate for her,<br />Anyway your pictures are beautiful and I envy you the wonderful fruits of living in Calif. which is truly a paradise. (I love Maine, too-in summer)<br />It is not even 60 degrees here in Finger lakes area of NYS-no spring for us and the planting is still going on. We have not even seen homegrown strawberries yet but are hoping. My knock out roses however are a bright spot and in full bloom. I wish I knew how to do pictures on this thing.<br />Joy to you-Pam G.nana pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12503254021630246652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-32885491954143538842011-06-14T06:53:05.697-07:002011-06-14T06:53:05.697-07:00I'm so sorry to hear you've been so sick, ...I'm so sorry to hear you've been so sick, Sharon.
