Summer Lovin'

Last weekend it was a really nice HOT day so we got the pool out for the kids.

Good thing we took advantage then, because the last two days have been high wind days, like, if we had them in the pool, it probably would have blown away WITH the kids in it. LOL.

So, I was coming home from EskDale that day, and the scene was SO pretty, but I didn't have my camera with me so I was trying to (safely) hurry home and get my camera. I pulled up to the driveway and there was a snake on our porch. Yeah, snakes and I don't get along, so I waited until he removed himself to a different location, so this was the shot I was left with.

What our other house was looking like over the weekend.

Not Good

When we moved here, the front door (ha, what am I saying? the only door...) was missing a big chunk of weather stripping at the bottom. It's something that I've been wanting to fix because I know that lots of spiders and bugs are coming in the house that way. Well, last night I was getting ready for bed and I was looking for something so I had turned on the entryway light. I saw a movement out of the corner of my eye at the bottom of the front door and in that split second it looked like a snakes tongue peeking through the hole.

Fight or flight?

I ran away.

Then I came back to investigate.

Nope, not a snake, but a scorpion, he was still working on getting through.

Everyone else was asleep, but I woke Cary up to get rid of the scorpion.

He wasn't too happy that I woke him up for THAT.

Um, I don't know about anyone else, but a scorpion living in my house is kind of a big deal. ☺

Then I was up all night worrying about what other creatures (snakes?!) are getting through that gap in the door!

Ugh.

I'm slowly trying to get caught up on posting and going through my pictures.

Friday's are exercise days around here.
