It’s so dry!
It’s been over 140 days since we have had any rain fall at all. And it’s also been one of the hottest springs we have had in many years.
And on top of that my water well went out two weeks ago, so I have not water anything in weeks.
Well today I was out splitting firewood (yeah it ironic I’m cutting firewood in 105 degree heat) and I stopped to take a pee.
I walk behind my shed and do my thing. As I’m standing there with a nice stream going I see a lizard run down a tree and jump off the side and hit the ground.
He quickly scampered strait for me, and stopped next to where my stream was landing.
Then he ran up and tried to get a drink of my pee! Yuck!
I finished up and when I moved he ran a short distance away.
Well after being surprised at what I just saw and having felt bad for the little guy and yes I had a chuckle or two.lol
I got a bottle of water held it about 3 feet off the ground and started pouring it out real slow. The little guy ran back over to me and got right under the dripping water and opened his mouth and got a big drink. He then licked up a little off the ground before it quickly soaked in.
He then took off and ran away but stopped a short distance away and looked back at me as to say thank you.
Gee I hope I never get that thirsty, and if I do, I hope someone will give me a drink of water instead of peeing on me!lol
True story!
