with lizards since early childhood...we don't have lizards here and I really miss them. Currently I leave our land fallow, so it can regenerate. I only keep about 5 acres for my horses to graze...and the Canada Geese that breed here. We have about 20 or so (I need to do a count) Blue Heron nests in our big trees at the stream...they totally fascinate me. The sounds they make are incredible...I imagine they sound like dinosaurs...lol...they are such large birds.

Mr Wind is lucky to have you
