Frogs and Toads and Lizards, oh my!

Frogs, Toads and Lizards come to call from time to time.  

 

This cute little guy joined us last night.  We have a 3/4 to 1" opening under our outside doors, and these critters find their way in.  We hustle to capture them and get them back outside for fear that Ginger will hassle them.  We have tried to find what we called "door sweeps" in the states, but nobody knows what we are talking about.  It was suggested that we take an old inner tube and cut it into strips, but we don't happen to have any inner tubes around here.  It is one of those things we need to talk to the Land Lady about. 

As promised, Steve finally got some pictures of the flowers and foliage around our house:
