There's a Frog Under My Washing Machine and Other Anecdotes of Life in South Georgia

There's just way more wildlife down here than what we were used to in the red-clay towns. For example, tonight I went out to our garage to switch some laundry and almost stepped on a little frog. I was barefooted -- because it's 80 degrees out (another difference) so that would have been gross. But I'm sure I scared him more than he scared me. Anyway, off he hopped right under our washing machine. Now the question is, do I leave the garage door open so that he can hop on out, or do I close it so more frogs don't get in? I closed it.
It's not really the frogs that worry me. It's mainly those scary spiders. Like the scorpion I found in our den a couple of days ago. It's been about six months since the last time we found one in the house but twice in one year is too much for me!
