and people are busy repairing that damage. Also, mold is a huge factor here. I have to spray clean fences, doors and outside walls after bad rains to keep the mold away. I use vinegar right now, but when it gets out of hand, professionals have to be called in to clean it up.

So far, none of the bad mold but that does happen.

and with how comfortable the critters are in your presence. Now that you mentioned it, I can see those sockets almost break out in tears.
This is a fun post in its variety.

The lizards look at me like I'm crazy and I guess to them I am. I smile like an idiot at them and talk to them like I do my dogs. (Who's a good lizard?)

The water has receded but I'm going to let the sockets dry out for several days before I use them again. I need to invest in a topper that closes.

We had more sun today, so YAY! (again)
