Our visitors...3 of them!!
On my last post, I told you about the 3 snakes that we found during our yard "clean up" on Sunday! Two little ones (that lived) and one huge one that was coiled up in a bush in our front landscape. Ummm...it didn't live. In fact, it was snapping at Jonathan's shovel like a cobra! Okay, maybe I'm being a bit dramatic, but it was sick and definitely enough snake for us!!
And that was without its head!!!

Oh Happy Day!
Talk about neglect. I have totally neglected my blog for well over a month now. I'm not sure if there are still readers out there, but just in case...
We had a wonderful day today. It was about 65 degrees, the sky was clear and blue. The trees are budding, the grass is getting green, so we stayed out in it all day. The boys were dirty...so dirty. They played in the dirt, held worms...and tadpoles (from our neighbor's pond). They built a fort out of sticks. They took several rides in the wheel barrow (on top of leaves and sticks that we were trying to clean up)!! They played with the dogs and in the sandbox, and with rocks.
And, here's the most exciting part of the day...SNAKES! Plural...snakeS!! While raking leaves in the front yard, we saw 2 little snakes, so Jonathan had to come and pick them up by their tails and scare us with them! Then, a while later, he yelled for us to come to the front porch again. Thank goodness I didn't decide to clean out the front landscaping before he did because...oh my!! There was a snake in the landscape that was about 5 feet long! I'm not even kidding! It was raising it's head and snapping at Jonathan. I felt like I was watching an episode of Bear Grylls on Man vs. Wild!!! Needless to say, the snake ended up headless, and Jonathan was a total tough guy hero!! I'll have to post pictures later!
Today - even with the snakes - was one of those days that I just realize how blessed I am. Blessed to have my health, my sight to see the beauty all around me, blessed to have my children and my husband and my home. So blessed and very thankful!
