Wildlife

Just another day here at the wild and wooley Powell household. We just keep on having the nature lesson everyday. Today we have Chipmunk A: Hayden


Obsessed with the Breakfast Bar!


And here is Chipmunk B (Correction: I just realized after staring at it again that it is in fact a skinny prairie dog. It was standing straight up and down which I've never seen a chipmunk do before which led me to the conclusion that it was in fact a prairie dog.) He is currently residing on my backporch as I type:


Next we have the roadrunner: (Right now he is staring at the prairie dog on my back porch)

And this isn't the actual picture, but definitely a identical replica of what I killed on my backporch today:
Yes folks, that is a Black Widow Spider. ARGHHHHHH!!! Not so excited about that one. Already killed one of these in Ella's bedroom last week:
8 calls already made to the pest control places around town. I've gotten some good quotes, but I'm ready to have them out here to exterminate!!!!

That is soooo not fun to me. We killed a black widow on our back porch in Fort Worth and that was the first time I was excited to move to Abilene, so I am going to pretent they don't live here. And we used to kill scorpions all the time when we first moved to Austin (when I was young) cuz we were the first ones on the road. This conversation makes me rethink building a new house, maybe I will just find a house in an already settled neighborhood!!!! Good luck with the extermination, maybe I'll come back over after that is done... just kidding!!!
