Laundry & A Lizard!

I had a hard time getting motivated today. I really was wishing the sky would open up and rain would fall and quench the land. Then I wouldn't get to do my laundry and I could stay in and listen to it pour. But that didn't happen. So, I got up and moved around and started the laundry process.

I have so much laundry that still isn't finished!
I decided to start with Sherman's work clothes
and then if it didn't rain I'd hang out the jeans
and so on... Well, so far still no rain. You can see

how dry it is here by all the yellow dry grass.

But what I really wanted you to see was the line

of work shirts!! I mean, REALLY, who needs a

line and a half full of shirts?! The real sad thing is,

that's not even all of them! There are clean shirts in his drawer, plus the one he's wearing today!
Let's just say he could wear a different shirt everyday for about a month!! I know it's crazy!! But, that's my guy!!

So while I was hanging the clothes out I heard a ruckus over by the barn and wood pile. I looked over and saw an animal...I wasn't sure if it was one of mine or something else. I went and got the gun, just in case. When I snuck over to the barn there was my tom-cat George with a huge lizard in his mouth. I went in to get the camera, but by the time I got back out he had let it loose and chased it around some more.

He has the lizard pinned under his paw but you can't see it. One of the other cats helped him in the chase and Blue (our Blue Heeler) joined in too.

This is Sweetie. They ended up loosing the lizard in the wood pile. I wish they wouldn't kill them, they are good to eat bugs. I have to give my barn cats kudos! They truly are awesome cats! They bring me many presents...dead mice, birds, you name it they kill it! They've even cornered a large rattlesnake. I have 3 cats...Little Bit wasn't in on the lizard chase so I didn't get a pic of her. Usually they do hunt all together, but she must've been off having a nap!

I accomplished 5 loads of laundry today. As I write this I still hold hope for a nice rain. I hear the beautiful 80* temps we've had are about to disappear and we will drop down into the 50*s by the end of this week. Just in time for Spring Break! Funny how that works! But hot summer temps will be here before we know it and we'll be ready for relief by winter months and the cycle continues! Like everything else in life, including the weather, guess we need to learn to be content in what we're given! Still I will pray for rain!!
