Salamander

Sometimes the littlest things will zing us back to our childhood.  Just driving to Anadaré down the winding dirt road will do that every single time I return.  The salty air, the peace and calm, the very black night with no street or house lights also still do it.

Yesterday, I found a salamander in the back yard.  That brought such a smile to my face.... I used to play with them as a child, and keep them as pets.  I thought this was normal.....until my friend expressed her complete aversion to them.  Really???  They are so cute!!

So we are comfortably ensconced, listening to the rain, crocheting, reading, watching Netflix, chatting, napping - and I'm pretty tempted to wander back outside to try and find that salamander.....
