I'm so happy.
My wonderful husband gave me a newt for Christmas.
Well, not a real newt.
He gave me a picture of a newt.
He and my boys were spelunking in a local cave this afternoon and they ran across this little guy.
My husband knew that I've been having trouble getting a picture of one, so he whipped out his camera and made a couple of newt portraits for my blog.
I said newt portraits.
Now, when you read my posts Saving Newts and It Rained Today, you'll know exactly what the little critters look like.

And a beautiful newt it is too. Merry Xmas

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Ah, newts! I mean, nuts! Just kidding around, 'tis the season for bad puns. We found a newt in the compost pile, and the 12 year old kept him for a few months until we traded him in for a turtle (the newt went back to the compost pile, the turtle came from Craig's list.
