I wish I had my camera at Judy's Dad's house today......

One of the projects the realtor said needed done before the house was listed was to resurface the driveway and garage floor.  Everyone has to enter the house by going down either side of the house to the back. 

This am, Judy and  her sister Mary saw one of the workers go down the side and then come right back out.....they thought he was acting a little odd but didn't think much more about it and went down the same side he had just come from.  Judy said she took about two steps and walked into some really sticky concrete surfacing......they had done the AC pad at the side of the house along with the driveway and garage floor.  Judy had no clue they were going to do that too....so, she got "unstuck" from it, cleaned off her shoe and finished taking stuff to the back.  They had to make a second trip and Judy was avoiding the AC pad this time when Mary said "Oh look, is that baby lizard stuck on the AC pad?" 

Judy  hadn't noticed as she passed but when she turned around to look, her heart sunk.  There, on the pad was a little lizard, totally stuck in the coating.  She said all four legs were stuck, his tail and belly were stuck and even his poor little chin was stuck. 

I asked her if she was able to get him "unstuck" without pulling his skin off in the process.  She said it took quite awhile but she was able to successfully "unstick" him without seeming to hurt him in the process.  She held him in her hand and took him next door to let him loose so he wouldn't accidently run into the coating again and re-stick himself.

As she got into the neighbor's yard, he reached over and bit her.  She said it didn't hurt at all, he didn't have teeth and she just felt some pressure but it startled her and she nearly dropped him.  She sat him on the ground and she said he tore off at about a hundred miles an hour and disappeared in the far reaches of the neighbor's yard.

Another successful rescue for tender hearted Judy ~ It's one of the many things I love about her.   I so wish I could have recorded it with my camera.

My day wasn't nearly so special.  I did three loads of laundry and ran some errands after Judy got home.  I still love hanging the clothes on the line so I guess some of it was GOOD!  :)
