Weather watch lizard

I'd just dozed off upstairs, paperback open, when the weather sirens sounded.  Trundling down to turn on the weather channel I nearly tripped over Mr. Anole.  A flash of lightning showed him scurrying off to a corner of the living room.  Maybe he's been living on the spiders under the stairs.



When I saw this handsome dude in the cable cover outside the front door Thursday, I hoped my indoor lizard had moved outdoors permanently.  Occasional odd sounds in the condo during the quiet three-day weekend had me wondering, though.

When the weather got crazy enough I took blankets and a pillow into the bathroom.  That's the only place away from windows in the condo.  Trying to sleep on a bathroom floor is uncomfortable.  Hoping the anole wouldn't take shelter with me kept me wide awake.  Cute, yes.  Cuddly, no.

    Everything OK now, weather wise? Lizard wise?

    The next round of storms is predicted this afternoon. The next round of lizards?

    I suppose you wouldn't have to worry about any spiders in the bathroom with Mr. Lizard around, though.
