Another snake surprise!

Another snake surprise for me!

As often as I have seen this happen over the years - still each time I'm startled to see a snake curled around my husband's big hands...especially in my house. This time he brought it into the bedroom as I was gathering up laundry for the wash!


With my startled exclamation of "Oh!” he laughed and said,” But I thought you were not afraid of snakes!"

I'm not afraid of them-Really- I'm not! They are just not something I wish to become so cozy with.

Lol- I surprised him by asking to hold the little snake and get a picture of me with it! Here's proof of how brave I am! You can tell I wasn't that relaxed with the situation, though! And the camera lens is fogged up! Oh well! But it's me holding a Red Rat Snake! (Also known as a Corn Snake)




Aren't you all proud of my bravery!! :)



Here is a website with pictures of this and other Rat Snakes.


I soon turned him back over to Charles and he set him free. I got these pictures as the snake quickly slithered away.

After our snake encounter I did some gardening- clipping and weeding in the roses...
The heat almost did me in! Need to do more but it will have to wait!

All of you - have a great day!
