Critters Today

What a day!

This morning as I went to get in the car and go to work, I stepped off my porch step and over (thank GOD!) a snake. It was about two feet long and was just laying across the bottom step. I thought it was a stick at first, but then it moved. I about had a heart attack! It was a black snake, so it was not a venomous type of snake, but it still startled me!

Then I came home at lunch and found a big brown rabbit in my front yard. He hopped away as I got out of the car. I wonder if he will come back after I leave? I wonder if the snake has high hopes of catching that rabbit and feasting on that big bunny?

Spring is in the air

Spring is in the air and I am loving it. The Dogwoods are blooming and the trees are finally begining to grow a few leaves. It won’t be long before they are full and green. I am so happy that the cold weather is finally gone. I will get out in the yard this weekend and clean up the broken branches and sticks, because it is already looking like I will have to mow the yard soon. I am not looking forward to the seasonal allergies though. I will have to make a trip to the pharmacy to get some allergy meds. Blech…
