I worry for the chicks but nature is nature and only so much can be done. What does Maurice do when she sees a snake or doesn't she? I actually wish I was brought up with nature because it's so beautiful alas my mother put the fear of everything in me. There is some critter(s) running in my wall and I am scared of whatever that is. For heaven sakes, I am scared of my own shadow. Your descriptions broaden my narrow little city world.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015888228309968515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-11384498052653954112015-05-08T14:42:22.968-04:002015-05-08T14:42:22.968-04:00I agree.

Why there are so many here I have know idea. I have never seen an oak snake here, but I have probably jinxed myself now. We get mostly black racers and very slow moving large red rat snakes. I am always to scared to get close enough to kill them, not that I would since they are not poisonous. I wish they would just stay in the woods.

And it is also possible to live in places in Florida that make Lloyd look like a gated community. <br /><br />Steve Reed- Those ducks were wild with excitement. It was like, "WTF, ducks?"<br />You're right about the snakes. There will always be more.<br /><br />Angella- Yes. That would create a phobia for sure. ARRGGGGHHHH! Poor baby. <br />Lenore has those boys wrapped around her tiny precious finger. And she adores them. As you can tell. <br /><br />Mwa- I wish you would post pictures of where you run! I'd love to see it. And that snake is not poisonous. It's just an oak snake. They are good because they eat vermin. They are bad because they think baby chickens are vermin. Plus, they eat eggs! But what can I do? There are an endless supply.

He was 8. His dad came to the rescue, but not his mom. I held him and calmed him once he was away from the snake, but honey, I totally get why you can't kill that thing. Besides, it has cousins.<br /><br />Speaking of cousins that little girl is going to have it made with those two big strong handsome boys looking out for her! Not being sexist. I'm sure she will look out for them too!37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-72001401268178152352015-05-08T11:02:34.827-04:002015-05-08T11:02:34.827-04:00Ha!
