The encounter with the snake

[FunkyRooster]

I'm the type of girl who really doesn't like to get dirty or go outside unless it is to lay in the sun in a very clean lounge chair. SO today, while it was finally sunny out, I decided to clean up the chairs and cushions that were outside. I brought my radio out and everything and really was gonna get this done. I was draging the hose over when a black thick snake came crawling over. I freaked out, I think I yelled really loud and ran onto the patio. I ran inside to call my dad cause I really was freaked out. Of course he laughed. Then I went to bring in the radio cause there was no way after that scare that I would do the chairs, and the cat got out. Where did she run to? The last spot that I saw the snake. I figured, she can stay as long as she wants outside cause I aint goin over there. I didn't manage to finish or start to say the least, the chairs. I didn't even want to walk over to that side of the lawn. YUCK!!! It's when you don't expect something to be there.

I had an encounter with a snake last spring. I went outside to go to the car, and in the carport, was a huge tan and brown snake. I almost stepped on it! I went screaming back into the house, DH went outside to kill it, and got it with a shovel.
We feel bad now, (found out it wasn't dangerous, only a rat snake), but here in Florida you never know.
About 45 minutes later I went in the kitchen for a cup of coffee and there was the same kind of snake only smaller... in my kitchen!!!


We live in a 100 year old house, that has been restored. I can't for the life of me figure out how it got in! It was on the top of the window trim, heading for the floor.
All I can say is...if you kill a snake, Be Careful... his family will come after you!!!

LOL....I do not blame you. I am not a fan of snakes, though I think I hate mice even worse.
