This may be the reason I don't so much enjoy living in Arizona. I really don't enjoy the heat, but have tried to focus on the 8 - 9 months of near perfect blue skied days that we enjoy... I try not to miss the crisp cool air of fall too much, although I always do get a tad homesick for fall leaves and apple harvest. I have grown accustom to "our" green here, and the fact that there is little to no yard maintenance...but or maybe I should say BUT....
I have not learned to enjoy the "critters"
I just went out side to get something from my car....look what was habitating in the driveway! Ewww! At least it is not a scorpion, or wild looking spider...but ewwww!
The rock next to it is about the size of a dime....
We have had lots more insects this summer, I am sure due to all the rain. We need the rain so I guess we will have to endure the "critters"....

I too miss the crisp fall days...shouldn't we be wearing sweatshirts by now???
WOW!! I would be scared he might get in the house-what an ugly bug ya ewww-Aliya and Landon would want to keep it as a pet if they found that in the backyard-:)
Eww, I totally DISLIKE bugs off all kinds! I know some are good and help us by killing other bugs but they are all just nasty! Madi is sitting here next to me, and she said, "oh it's a mommy bug... a mommy big is nice!" haha, kids. They are not scared of anything until we condition them to be so!
I lived in AZ for a while (a bit further north) and I remember most the endless shades of brown... and the bugs! My kid s don't believe me when I tell them that the black ants can be as big as a nickle and REALLY hurt when they bite. Thanks for sharing, it brings back memories of my teenage years!
Ewwwww! So, you are in Arizona? I have been through there as a child. Do not know it well.
I'm originally from the humid South and we have bugs so big that my husband jokingly says they have aircraft warning lights on their wings.
Ha!
