Signs of spring

There are certainly signs of spring everywhere you look, including our yard.

It is now the time to clear off the leaves from the flower bed and herb garden. Wow, the bulbs are really pushing up! Trees are beginning to bud out. And yes, the grass is starting to perk up as well. Here comes Spring 2022.

A surprise reptilian visitor

We were planting some new bulbs today in our herb/flower garden. We also moved some Asiatic lily bulbs from the front of the house to the back yard as well. When I looked into a bucket we used to move the lily bulbs I noticed this colorful little guy. He is a Five Lined Skink. He is about 5 inches long, and he has lost a part of his tail. We’ve never seen one around before. He’s now making a new home in our bulb/herb/flower garden.
