Green Eggs and Scorpions

No, this is not the title of Dr. Seuss's most sinister book. It's just a summary of two interesting facts I learned this week. (Note: To our moms, if you are reading this, please stop now and go to the next post.)

Fact #1

It is a good idea to check your bedsheets here for scorpions. Just in case one is in there.



Because finding a scorpion in your bed is a little disconcerting, and certainly mars an otherwise good night of sleep.

In the interest of truth in reporting, I would like to point out that the above picture is a stock photo from the internet, chosen to enhance this post. I did not have the presence of mind to grab the camera to take a photo of the actual scorpion we found.

And moms - I told you to stop reading, but I know you still are, so I want to to know that our pest-control appointment has been scheduled.


On a lighter note, Fact #2

There is a variety of chicken that lays green eggs! I know I'm a city girl, but am I the only one who's never heard of actual green eggs? Here's a picture to prove it to any sceptics...

We love fresh eggs, and Miss Hannah from church is selling eggs now. So I was very eggcited to have a source of fresh eggs.... But when she told me some of them were green, well, that's just even better!
