Today's post features an audio player!!! We found a very funny (and...somewhat appropriate) episode of This American Life from Public Radio International, WBEZ Chicago, that we thought y'all would enjoy. There are some great stories included here -- it is definitely worth a listen...

So, GO! Get yourself a cup of tea (or coffee) and enjoy TAL's Episode 115: "First Day".




-------> Mischievous Squirrel, my esteemed fellow-guest-blogger, may want to skip the section of the program regarding the "Squirrel Cop" -- it is very disturbing! <------

Mischievous Squirrel here, again! I am really enjoying this guest-blogging gig...It's so nice to be in the air-conditioned house, enjoying a drink on the Lizzard's couch and surfing YouTube on her laptop.

Check this guy out...COOL!

Hello, folks! Mischievous Squirrel here.

tDL's administrator recently informed me that the Lizzard would be out of town for about a week and asked if I would be willing to fill in for her as a guest blogger.

I was truly honored by the invitation! It had always been my understanding that the Lizzard was not fond of squirrels, but I was assured that she was "actively reconsidering her position and trying to improve her public image on the issue." The guest blogging job offer? An extension of the symbolic Olive Branch -- and I never refuse food...

So here I am! Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed! Ready to work and help out on the Daily Lizzard!


[ Muaaaaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaaaaaahaaaaa -- the mischievous games begin! While the Lizzard is away, let the Rodents and the Antelope play!! ]

That damned squirrel is back!


The sign was clearly posted!


Lovely snapdragons are added to the front bed.


The new pink verbena,"Limerock Dream", and "Moonbeam" coreopsis.

Everything is growing fast here in the Greenwich garden! The new rock garden is working out very well, and all the flowers planted in it seem to be happy. However...the school system has failed the local rodent population...The sign was clearly posted and still they think it's OK to pig out here!!! I may have to resort to more drastic measures! Squirrels BEWARE!!!
