Lizards and Pine Cones, Oh My

Leonard Lizard is now about 7 inches long. I love him and he loves me.

Note: when  I say LOVE I don't mean I pick him up.

Our pine cones are small, about 3 inches long

 It was 5 PM and 64 degrees, we saw Baby go over to the grill and poke her nose at something then jump back in fear.

 I walked over and Buddy boy was on the ground to cold to move. He was hissing at Baby but could not run.

"Bob the Brave" picked Buddy Boy up and placed him in the sun on top of the pool timer to enjoy the sun with Leonard.

Pyromania and Pine Cone part 3

Did the pine cone burn?  YES, because each time it looked like above, I piled more pine straw in the pot.
(we burned a bale of straw trying to burn one pine cone)

Did MadSnapper have fun????

I created "Eau de Pine Cone" and one of the most fun part of all of this was the fact I smelled like a fireplace all day long.

Did any one question WHY would the MadSnapper burn a pine cone? YES, see comment below

and the answer issssss???  Because She Could.....

COLOR ME FLAMING HAPPY!  Next time I use the Redneck Fireplace, I will have marshmallows in the house....... then you can Color me SWEET!

Pyromania and Pine Cone part 2

This is my Redneck Fireplace.... Bob has a set of two  of these, they are pots for melting lead.

 As you can see if you enlarge the photos, the redneck fireplace is loaded with a pine cone, pine straw and dead leaves and about 20 matches..... you would THINK that many matches would act like kindling wood. NOT!

I was snapping and whining  "it JUST will NOT  burn, all it is doing is smoking.... Stop! you will burn your hand, "I yelled as Bob put more pine straw on it.

Bob kept piling on straw and I kept saying "only the STRAW is burning, I want the cone to burn"

As he huffed and puffed and blew on the straw, it flamed up as I yelled

"be careful, you will catch your beard on fire. besides the ONLY thing burning is the pine straw, I want the pine cone to burn"

I said "stop! I want to burn it! Let me!'
He said " you know you are a pyromaniac"
I said "we already KNEW that!"

 Well, we proved pine straw burns... do you think the pine cone will?

Pyromania and the Pine Cone

Sandra:  "Bob, do you think a pine cone will burn?"

Bob: "What?"

Sandra:   "DO. You. Think. A. Pine Cone. Will. Burn?" ( wife speak for hard of hearing husband)

Bob: "Yes, Virginia, Sandra a pine cone will burn."

As I picked up the pine cone from beneath my toes and below my camera I said

"WELL do you have anything I could burn one in?"

Do you know what this is in above photo?
