Monday

Ssssss.......

So, yesterday was Mother's Day. I went to the lake to see my parents, and we enjoyed some fried catfish, hush puppies and all of the fixin's. Nom Nom Nom. Then we played cards for awhile, and the sun broke out so I decided to go for a swim.

Unfortunately, I wasn't alone.



Eeeeek !! Usually we find them in the trap, but this little devil was just swimming around like no one's business.....and it's a salt water pool !!



Unfortunately, one snake's mom had an unhappy mother's day because he is no longer with us. I hate Gregory missed this because he would have been squealing like a little girl, and probably on my shoulders by that point....LOL.

See the shadow of the person standing on the diving board? Guess who?!

Looks like a snakey summer in Alabama.

Yikes!! When I see snakes, I scream, run, and lock myself in the house (like they could turn the doorknob, lol).

Nom, nom, nom...everytime you say that, I think of Cookie Monster! haha! :)

Sure am glad you saw him before he saw you.

Thank goodness the dogs keep us pretty snake-free around the house.

I'm a dork..... I'd have tried to catch him by hand and put him in a tank to observe before letting him go.

I'm a herp-dork like that!

I would've captured him too and either my son would want to keep him or I'd take it somewhere away and let it go. Snakes are GOOD ya know! Son has 4 tarantulas so a snake wouldn't be an worse. Actually I like snakes! What kind was it? Poisonous or not?

TexasRaceLady said...

L7, that would be a nice, fat Copperhead.

And, yes, it is poisonous.

Kim said...

Yes, it was very poisonous !! It was a copperhead !

Umm, oh, WOW! Since we don't have them up here I don't know what they look like. In that case, off with his head!! LOL!
