Uninvited Guest

We recently had an univited guest. He should be hibernating somewhere. I guess since it snows one day and is in upper 70's the next, he might be a little confused. He was in the track of our sliding door and became stuck between the two when we opened them.

egads. I forgot about the weather change. Which probably means more of these in the house:

It's been a while since we've had a snake.

I'm glad we don't have to worry too much about those here- scorpions are one thing I do NOT miss about living in southern California!
 
They haven't come out that direction yet? I didn't have any until moving to TX.

Illinois has boring geography for the most part, but I just think of stuff like this when I start pining for the realms of more varied topography. I actually have seen two snakes this past year, which is amazing, in the roughly 20 years that I'd lived here before that I never saw one. But we have nothing venomous, at least not until you go far South. So far as I know we have no deadly spiders, no scorpions... just deer ticks laden with Lyme disease.

Well Dan, the armadillos are heading north...so they'll give the possums a run for their money at night.

...and secadas that fall from the trees every 7 years. I know what you mean by boring. I live in ROLLING Meadows...*looks around*...looks pretty flat to me!
