Beautiful Fred!!!! I agree, so neat and clean looking. Armidillos, yeap, I have them here. We have a mamma that raises her brood under our shop. Of course the shop has my greenhouse off the back of it. Then all my pots are around this area. This year, for the first time, they found that under those black pots of daylilies, lives the biggest grub worms on the place. So, I had pots turned upside down for awhile, then they just stopped. I haven't seen them in awhile, so maybe they have moved on to someone else's house.
I wish ya'll could have seen me about 5 year ago. I went outside about 11pm to turn the water off. I always manage to forget unless I turn on the timer. So, I'm bonding out the back door, with no light and get about 30 foot from the door when I walk upon something!!! Something bigger than a toad frog cause it's making too much noise. Not a snake, they have a very destinctive sound at night. Nope this was bigger and many more of them. So, retreat is the order of the night. I could still run, well more of a lope, but I got back inside really fast!!!! Grab flashlight and bound back out the door to see the creatures of the night. It was 4 baby armys about the size of a half grown cat. I'd never seen one before, oh well, the dead ones on the side of the road. But, these were ALIVE!! And so cute!!!(I just heard Fred squeal "They are not cute!!" But they really are and this was long before they started turning over pots. Do you know that they jump striaght up when they are scared. Straight up in the air then when they land they scurry off as fast as their fat sharp clawed little feet will take them. I HOOTED!! I laughed until it was getting dangerous on my bladder. I'd never seen anything funnier in my life. I did have one bad thought, what if they didn't run but had turned and attacked. That would have been a BAAAAAAD thing. My David came running outside because he finally heard all the comotion and wanted to know what was so funny??? Of course by then, the babies were under the shed and David just thought I had taken too many pain pills that day. He got to see them the next day but nothing could match my first discovery of baby armys.
