New Discovery

So yesterday, after more than a month of occupying my house, I discovered that I have a starfruit tree. Last Saturday we were at Flamingo Gardens and they had a starfruit tree with fruit all over and Natalie was talking about how much she likes starfruit. Well I was planting my new bananas yesterday and I noticed some starfruit on the ground next to what I thought was a bush of some sort. I was actually going to just wait until I figure out what this thing was and then decide if I'm going to pull it out or not. Well after finding the fruit on it, I don't think Natalie is going to let me take it out. It's a sad looking tree so I put some more stakes in and tried to stand it up because it's leaning over, the fruit almost pulling the top of it all the way to the ground. We'll see if I can get it looking like a tree instead of a bush.

Also while planting one of my bananas by the baby's future room I noticed what I first though was a nasty looking black worm. It was an inch or so beneath the soil. But then it kept appearing as I was digging and I noticed it has orange stripes on one side. The head was small so I couldn't tell which side was up but one side was black and the other side is black and orange strips. It's a baby snake. I didn't want to pick it up though since I didn't know what it is. So I looked up the possibilties this morning and it's either a South Florida Swamp Snake or the endangered and thought to be possibly extinct Rainbow Snake. Most likely it would be the South Florida Swamp Snake since those are common down here. I need to find it again because if it is a Rainbow Snake and I can prove it's not extinct, well, hmmm..... I would say Nobel Peace Prize but we all now that is meaningless. LOL.
