I think I would be more afraid of the bat than the snake, unless bat was a vampire, and snake was poisonous. You just don't know

Amd the SIZE of the bat and the SIZE of the snake....



Also..... No matter what the size of the bat... If it pops out of the wood pile covered in blood.....

 

[drumstick diva]

Oh, thanks Alaskan, now I am feeling faint

 

[drumstick diva]

Hmm. I don't even have a woodpile.

 

[Alaskan]

Are you sure? Most people have a woodpile... Just so that they have a spot to hide family secrets.

There is an old metal shed that collapsed into a pile of rusty rubble but, I'm afraid to go back there - it's surrounded by murderous Buckthorn trees and bushes, those thorns really mean business.

No family secrets that I know about. Of course IF I knew about them they wouldn't be secrets anyway. All this is giving me a headache or it's the junk I sprayed on my house plants for tiny red mites.

My woodpile had been dumped in the driveway for a week before we had a chance to stack it so most things hadn't had the chance to move in, yet. There were a couple really large slugs and some regular non-scary spiders and some crickets. And Shelob.

And the picture made it look huge because it was huge. The body was over an inch long. It was at least a 3 inch leg-span spider.

Well, at least it wasn't a (shudder) scorpion!

Well, at least it wasn't a (shudder) scorpion!

we have those... My son finds one in his bedroom at least once a year. Usually under his pillow.

Not good. I always worry about them or a brown recluse finding its way into a shoe.
