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!

Junie!!! You really did hold that snake!!!! You have more courage than I would! lol Snakes don't really terrify me but I just don't want to hold them or have them too close to me. lol You are one brave lady...now can you come and squish a spider that's been following me around in my house???? hehe xox
ReplyDeleteYep! I held him! lol- Charles was afraid I'd squeeze it too hard and kill the poor little thing! But I was careful!
ReplyDeleteI don't like spiders much, either- but I don't like to squish 'em! I try to catch them in wet paper towels and put them outside, when I find them inside.
