Where is a Wizard when you need one? Lions, Tigers and Bears, oh my! Okay it's more like gophers, snails and lizards, oh my! We cannot get rid of a gopher in our yard. We have smoke bombed him, poisoned him, gopher buzzer thingy in the ground him, given him gum, etc, etc, etc. and everyday he is back. Last year we had one and some of the guys from England told Mark to put urine the holes. He did leave so we are back to pee in the hole! (and no the guys are not standing outside peeing)
The snails are a challenge now because of my garden. Can't put out snail pellets because of the dogs. So we gather them up each morning and put them in the green trash bin to give them a home at the dump. I looked for some natural ways to kill them. (Like that's any better!) Anyway I read about oatmeal and it seems to be working. As far as the lizards go they don't bother us but they annoy Skye and in turn she will tear up a bush looking for them!
Since you may not see me on Facebook here are a few photos I have shared over the last few weeks.

Dinner at
Literati Bar & Grill on Wilshire Blvd in LA. We finally celebrated Tristen's Birthday dinner. This is Scottish Salmon, Spaghetti Squash
(a first for me), on top of green beans and mushrooms. I also had sauteed spinach.
Head on over to visit with Hilary.
This week’s statements:
1. I never sing when I shower.
2. I use to smoke but I stopped. (very briefly)
3. My favorite picture of all time is The Five Pennies (with Danny Kaye)
4. When it gets dark I think about the nighttime predators like coyotes. (that is why Skye goes out on a leash at night)
