Flour...yes, I need flour!

  Son often says that I am easily amused but, also, easily distracted.  It is true...on both accounts.  I often am entertained by the most mundane things but it is true that my attention span is short when it comes to drudgery.  Let one moth flit by and I will forget the chore at hand and go chasing after it.  Today was no different.  I was distracted but. also, highly amused by a single lizard.

  Along about noontime, I set out making chicken pot pie for the menfolk.  Everything was chopped and ready to be thrown together when I decided that the mixture needed buttermilk biscuit dough instead of the normal crust.  I headed to the pantry to get flour when I passed the north window.  Just outside that window sits the large rosemary shrub.  I have no idea how I spied the lizard in all of that green but I did and that was where the cooking stopped.  I had to grab the camera and take a photo of the lizard.  

  Once I was outside, I promptly forgot all about chicken, veggies and buttermilk biscuits.  That was the cutest lizard I have seen in a long while!  Truth be told, the thing had just hatched and was still wrinkly from being confined inside its eggshell.  The lizard was a grand total of about three inches in length and had the most adorable face!  I watched as it made its first attempt at capturing lunch which was a tiny fruit fly!  Oh, my goodness!  

  A good fifteen minutes later, I remembered our lunch and had to hurry back inside.  I was not particularly happy about leaving my tiny friend as I knew I would probably never see it again.  As I passed the same window, I took a quick peek only to find no lizard.  Whatever caused me to see that critter in the first place?  Oh, yeah...flour.  I need to get the flour from the pantry.  That sure was a cute lizard!
