We named the dog . . .

Guess what we saw yesterday.





We have a bad feeling about this. Can't even blame Shane L this time.

Something else has been bugging us, too:



Actually, this isn't an inordinately buggy place. We get the odd "cock-a-roach," as Tony Montana would say, but of the outdoor, mulch variety that blunders into the house. Lots of ants, with occasional assaults on the castle, and there are termites, but none in our place at present. Septic mosquitoes, while disgusting, are rare, and mosquito season lasts for about a month, it seems. So we can't really complain. But this innocent little beetle freaked Wendy out, so I had to despatch it: crunchy.

Pegasus. or smaug. possibly the profile of an ostrich. I was originally looking for some sort of resemblance to the virgin Mary or one of the saints but it just wasn't there for me. I guess that sort of thing is more likely somewhere permanent like on a piece of toast or something.
