A small anole has taken up residence in our library. I usually see it in amongst the potted plants on the table in front of the window. When I first noticed it I put a little dish of water there. The plants often don't have any water in their trays. I don't actually know how much water lizards need to drink, but it's got to be some. I don't know whether it will find enough insects to eat in the house, but I can only do so much. Today I noticed that it was hurrying back and forth along the window sill. I thought it might be looking for a source of water, because it looked like its dish was empty. Then it got to the end of the window where it meets the frame. There is a small hole there maybe 2 mm high and about a centimeter wide, where the wood doesn't quite meet. The lizard wriggled into that hole and out of sight. I don't know whether it made it to the outdoors or to someplace inside the wall. I guess I should've gone outside) and looked for it. But then some mysteries should be kept and not solved.

 

And there was still water in the dish.
