Just a few crazy things that have happened in the last few weeks:
-I found a scorpion in my bathroom. Yes, a scorpion. I had no idea that scorpions could live in such a humid, swampy area. But, apparently they do. However, the scorpions in Florida aren't dangerous like the ones we have out west. They are regarded as more of a nuisance and there sting is similar to that of a bee.
This is not the actual scorpion (I wouldn't hold a scorpion in a million years, even if it was harmless), but just a picture of how small Florida scorpions are.
- I have a giant pot on my porch with a palm tree in it. Well, a few weeks ago I went to water the plants and after spraying water in the giant pot I noticed somthing sticking out the top. I moved in for a closer look, when I realized it was a giant green snake coiled up on the inside of the pot. I dropped the hose and ran inside to tell Mitcheal. He quickly came out and decided that he would need to pick the pot up and let the snake slither out into the forest across the street. As soon as he picked the pot up, the giant snake seemed to leap out of the pot towards Mitcheals face. He dropped the pot and we both ran inside and quickly locked the door, as if just shutting the door was not enough to keep us safe from the giant but most likely harmless snake.
-Tropical Storm Fay passed over the panhandle fairly uneventfully. Lots of rain and a few broken branches, but nothing too scary.
