Peachie, I think those are Frog Crabs, a rare but hardy variety.

There is no "right" or "wrong". Everyone has a different opinion. I think that you are a Seasonal Resident .. someone who owns a home in The Villages and occupies it seasonally, usually during the winter.

Snowbirds may own or rent, but usually stay for the season. Snowflakes flutter around, and sometimes melt away.
