Invasion...

The past couple of weeks I've seen more scorpions in this house then I've seen in the past 7+ years, its nerve wracking to say the least...

This is one of many that I've killed...Thank goodness no one has been stung yet but it's just a matter of time...I've called the guy that sprays the house for us and he's suppose to be out but I haven't seen him yet and I'm getting frustrated!! One of the many critters we deal with and they are on the top of my list "of do NOT like"...Fire ants are right up there with them...

The last time I saw this many Scorpions was just before Hurricane Claudette hit (we were living in a different house), I wonder...

Evening at the Property...

I went down to the property this evening to do some work around the pool and as I started vacuuming the pool it started getting dark then I heard some thunder...

 Looks like a storm was building up right over the top of us...woohoo maybe it will rain?



 It didn't happen...The storm moved off to the West/NorthWest and someone somewhere got a brief shower...

 Love the sun rays peaking through...

 Beautiful cloud formations...

 Sunset...

 I still have a few wildflowers around the pool...

There is a story here, and it has to do with an old gopher underground run in the garden...I'm not too fond of gophers!!

I have no room on my kitchen counter...

And this is just from today...I suppose you don't need to ask what I had for dinner :o) I've also tried to explain to One-eyed joe that you are suppose to pick the cucumbers before they get as big as the Zucchini squash but he still hasn't figured that one out!! Anyone want some veggies?

This summer I've cut Michael down to 3 hours of electronics, video games and or TV a day. I've decided to do some art projects with him instead this is our first attempt...I've gotten ideas from all over the internet for our projects...This one is from an art teacher and here is her website and where I found the idea....Click here
