Tyler has been asking for a pet for so long that Loralai has started saying "Dog" whenever he talks about wanting a pet. Drew and I would love to get the kids a dog, only we don't have a fenced in backyard, and we have no plans to fence in the backyard because we love all the big trees that are at the back of our yard. We don't want to close the wooded area out. So for now our pet is a lizard we found under the stairs at the front of our house. Tyler named it "Lily Lizard". We see Lily at least once a day on our front steps and occasionally give her leaves and berries. She usually crawls away really fast when Tyler tries to pick her up, but Tyler is satisfied with Lily as a "pet" for now. Loralai picks up dirt, rocks, and grass...really anything around and tries to feed Lily Lizard.
Below is a picture of the rose bush I haven't killed yet!
Tyler and Loralai check out our zucchini and squash plants that seem to be growing in nicely. I have taken advice from a couple of friends from Indiana on how not to kill these.
