Carol Perkins: Nature Talk Previous Column: Day Trip to Nolin Lake By Carol Perkins When I reached for the water hose that was wrapped around a post next to the kitchen window, Ernie's grandson grazed close to my hand. I shrieked. I turned on the water, switched the nozzle to "jet" and was soon chasing Ernie Jr. up and down the brick wall. The windows where Guy stood, watching me.

Ernie, Jr. is a blue back lizard, grandson of our resident lizard whom Guy named Ernie. I have no love for either lizard and when I can, I terrorize them. "They don't bother you," Guy protested.
