The teenager at church likes to go what he calls “herping” –
hunting through the woods and bottom land for reptiles and amphibians. Had we
been teenagers together, we would have been good friends, I think.
Not too long ago he was lamenting that it has simply been
too cold to have much success at finding these creatures. Although there is a
frost warning for tonight, it has most certainly warmed up in the last week.
It is unfortunate he was not at my house yesterday afternoon.
We could have done a bit of herping together and would not have had to go far
to do it.
At about 1:15, I had said goodbye to a friend who came to
eat with me on her lunch break and took the Mollynater for a walk. We got back a
little before 2:00, and when I walked through the kitchen and reached out to
turn on the light in the living room , I did a double-take and changed my mind (the brown square is the light switch).
This is not the first time I have found one of these on the counter. Fortunately, he was just checking things out and did not try to
entice me to eat any forbidden fruit.
Unfortunately, when a photo opportunity like this presents
itself, one doesn’t have time to dust and remove clutter and set up the subject
so the perfect shot can be taken. Had I taken the chance of turning on the
light so the color would be better, I am not sure he would have continued to
sit there.
the story has a happy ending for all concerned.
