Is this guy cute or what!  Our daughter took the picture at the Wild Animal park in San Diego. He now resides as a screensaver on my laptop and I smile every time his turn comes up.  I hope you enjoy him as much as I have.  

Crape Myrtle murder has started early in Spring-Tomball-Magnolia TX this year. I have been driving around watching the landscapers out pruning for the last few weeks.
