So we have been outside most of the day. Jack & Molly had to help cut down a tree, and I was cleaning around the patio. While I was taking out some old bricks to transplants some lantana - all of a sudden a orange snake pocks his head out at me - Molly & Jack are inside doing something - so I start screaming bloody murder and finally Jack & Molly go get papa (on the computer as usual) I didn't want the snake getting away so I tried to kill it with the hole in my hand, as soon as I felt the snake - I screamed and screamed - I couldn't do it - all I did was make him mad!!!!!!!!!!! Well, finally the old man comes out and kills it, promising me it wasn't a copperhead. My arms went limp and my head is pounding - I sit down to rest, call my sister for some sympathy and get back to work, finishing the flowerbed I started......low and behold........what........Am i crazy - two more snakes - yes two - lying side by side - this time my screams brought more help - bobby came and killed them, and finished removing the bricks.
I forgot to mention that Jack and Molly's favorite game is now screaming: SNAKE, SNAKE!!

you've really been blogging... i've missed the last 3 or 4. that's funny about the snakes, and the whole thing went down as i would suspect it
Ok, jumping on the furniture is one thing. Letting them man the saw....well I guess it is better than letting them wield the ax when we go camping.
my heart rate is over 100 thinking about the snakes. you are so brave!
