Bugs and Such!

This summer we have had the worst luck with finding strange/dangerous things around our house.

A few months ago we came home to find a HUGE bee in our bathroom sink. Turns out once we took pictures and looked it up, it was the queen yellow jacket looking for a place to start a bee nest or whatever they do! I did not know that yellow jackets can make nests in your walls, but they can.

Then a few weeks ago I heard this terrible noise coming from the air conditioner. I just thought a stick or something was in it or hitting it, which I now know is bad and I should turn it off. But anyways, I couldn't get a hold of Andy and it turned off so I forgot about it. Until he got home and it was running again. He turned it off went and looked and there was a HUGE black snake wrapped around the fan of the air conditioner. It was obviously dead, but still like two feet long and that was missing the head section and end section. Andy was a little scared, but I think snakes are neat.

This last thing I do not like in fact I HATE and am still having chills! Tonight I was doing a little weeding around the mailbox and I always shake things and that I can't see, just in case there is something in them, but this time after I picked a big clump of weeds a BLACK WIDOW SPIDER came walking out!! I HATE spiders!!! Every time there is a black spider in the house I always make Andy kill it and then ask if it had red markings. Well Andy was in the backyard and he thought it was just me being me, until he cam out front and it was still sitting there and he saw it. We studied it and then he killed it and then I came in and looked it up and sure enough it was this exact looking spider! Please watch out when you are weeding! I am not going to weed at the mailbox ever again, so if you are coming to our house it will just look trashy. I am sure the guy building the 3,000 square foot house across the street really appreciates our beautiful yard.
