Yikes! A snake

It is HOT and HUMID. When it is 75 degrees at 6:00 a.m. you know you are in for a hot one. The humidity must be off the chart. I just got back from my walk and turned the a/c 5 degrees cooler and ripped off my t-shirt, shorts and shoes and socks. I know you don't like ugly mental pictures so early in the morning, but I am sitting here in my underwear with perspiration running down my whole body.



Well, enough of that description and on to the snake. I especially wanted to remember to tell you about the snake because I know how you love snakes, Lizzie. I was walking along lost in the story I am listening to on my iPod and happened to look down and nearly stepped on a small copperhead snake. I generally walk fast, but when I saw the snake, I hopped over it and I believe I REALLY walked fast. It was part way on the road and part in the grass. I am not terrified by snakes, but I do steer clear of them when I see them. On my way back I was very vigilant in the area I had seen the snake, but I saw a car had run over it when it got slithered further in the road.

Hope you all have a great day. Love you my little sisters.

  1. Ok... I just posted a comment and it went away!

    Anyway, MSN said it is 89 degrees there you must be completely in the buff by now!

    So much for the snake.

  2. I know I will never walk your streets again, Lori - not with all those wild snakes running loose.

  3. Nice picture for the mind's eye there, Lori. Again, our sweet mother comes to mind. lol

    I would have felt guilty for not helping the snake into the grass before a car ran over it. Not that you should feel the tiniest bit guilty. But really....

  5. Am I ever pissed. Lost another big ole long comment and now I am too sleepy to redo it.

    Short version -

    I have turned into Mom, sitting around in underwear with my body bag sagging. She is probably having fun laughing at me. When I go to the thrift store I can hear her in my mind saying "Do you think you are too good to wear 2nd hand clothes?" Now I understand. I love you Mom and you too sisters.

    BTW I saved a turtle yesterday so no guilt over the snake
