On Red Head Alley, surrounded by grape ivy; while it does not penetrate the building surface but merely attaches to it, nevertheless damage can occur if attempting to rip the plant from the wall; however, if the plant is killed first, such as by severing the vine from the root, the adhesive pads will eventually deteriorate to the point where the plant can be easily removed without causing any damage to the wall
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!

Is it too much to demand
I want a full house and a rock and roll band
Pens that won't run out of ink
And cool quiet and time to think
Shouldn't I have this

This female anole is on a little tree which I have growing in a flowerbox on my front porch. Perhaps she is the mate of Mr. Lost His Tail. I haven't' seen him recently. I'm sorry to say that the other day two of my dogs ganged up on one of these females and killed her. As she died, she layed an egg and part of another - the eggs are fairly large, so these animals do not produce many offspring - perhaps a few eggs in a breeding season. I didn't take pictures out of respect as I am very fond of these anoles. I buried her in one of the flower pots with the eggs - perhaps the formed one will hatch. They lay their eggs in the flower pots (or in the ground) - burried an inch or so down.
Watching these small creatures keeps me from dispair. They have very complex lives just as fraught with difficulties as humans and manage without listening to the news or dealing with office politics.
I kind of suck at "getting back into the swing of things" don't I? ;-) At leaste it's two weeks and not two months!
Spring has come so "early" for us. It's April and the snow is melting fast. At this rate it will most likely be gone by the end of this month! *knocks on wood* (Usually it's not completely gone until early May)
