Back on the Discovery Channel again

I've mentioned in the past that it sometimes feels like we're living life on the Discovery Channel here... I've had encounters with manatees, sharks, turtles, puppies and all sorts of other animal life here in Cayman. In the past few days, I've had the following experiences:
  • I came home from work the other day and walked up to my door to find a black snake hanging out on the walkway. Thankfully it slithered away when I approached. I made the mistake of telling AK about it and was quick enough to reassure AK that it was a "friendly snake" that I saw. She happily agreed that "we like friendly snakes!".
  • We took the garbage out one rainy wet-ish evening and counted no less than 5 snails on the walkway and on the building. I think I may have also stepped on one or two and AK also pointed at a "very still snail" (which I think I stepped on earlier in the day...). They are sneaky little critters, they just happen to find themselves under my feet sometimes!
  • Last night, I looked over and saw what I thought was a big ball of black fuzz on the floor... then my first thought was that it was a big fuzzy spider, as I've encountered some of those in MB before... then I realized it was a teeny tiny frog. AK was kind enough to keep an eye on it while I ran to get the broom and then she jumped on up on a chair as I swept the frog out the door. Yikes. I think I was more freaked out than AK was.
  • We've also seen a lot of little iguanas recently, which isn't really new, but AK really enjoys pointing them out and stopping to say Hi to them.
We are having Mike and Julie over for supper tonight. I am trying two new recipes on them so fingers crossed they both turn out! I need to leave work early as I am getting a service call from the Internet guys... finally... which works out nicely as it gives me more time to prep for supper!

Talk soon! xo
