Good Morning! i recently read my cousin Julia's blog regarding Arizona. it is currently scorpion season out there and soon enough it will be 115 degrees, yuck! they must check their sheets and clothes before putting them on and must wear shoes at all times to avoid getting stung! i have several family members out there who must deal with this dilema. Us New Yorkers think we have it so bad! yes we deal with minus zero temperatures and lots of rain. and in the summer and occational small brown ant on the floor, but a scorpion! Hello! i would be out of there in a flash! okay i dont mind bugs. the kids and i bug hunt several times during the summer months and i will be the first one to pick up a snake. but again- SCORPIONS! run! run to New York fast. Julia we would love to have you guys here. but if you can tolerate it, i will gladly send you some chickens! lol! and slippers!
