Since she is not a fan of reptiles, she called me for help. I was able to capture it and set it free in our front yard. I discovered that it was a Mediterranean House Gecko. I see them in our yard quite often, but this is the first time we have found one in the house. The "Med Gecko" are one of the most successful species of geckos in the world, so we won't be calling the cryptozoologist to investigate.
Since it was PayDay Friday we went to Mesa Rosa for dinner. Mesa Rosa is the closest to Southern California Mexican Food as we have found in Austin.
They have a new menu so I ventured into uncharted territory and picked the Burrito de la Reyna - Stuffed with shredded chicken and mushrooms, topped with Creamy Jalapeño sauce and jack cheese. Jalapeno cheese sauce is wonderfully spicy and creamy...Good Stuff.
When we returned home and pulled up into our driveway we saw a large Toad sitting in the middle of our front yard.
Tawnya is also not a fan of amphibians, so she declined to check it out. I coaxed it into the bushes so it would not be as conspicuous. I did some research and found out that it was a Gulf Coast Toad and they are found in a wide range of habitats including: open grassland, semi-arid regions, light forest, and even suburban backyards. This describes Round Rock perfectly. If we had known this before we moved into the neighborhood, it might have been a much tougher sale for Tawnya.
