Snakes on body parts=bad! I would have screamed and then decided I needed a break with some sort of spa treatment as a reward for being so brave...(I'll take any excuse).<BR/>Robin at Getting Groundedgetgroundedhttp://getgrounded.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-40933836471387029272008-07-10T07:13:00.000-05:002008-07-10T07:13:00.000-05:00Aunt Debbi - oh - don't get me wrong, I still think snakes on feet are VERY VERY BAD!!!Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-25698938809833406772008-07-09T23:12:00.000-05:002008-07-09T23:12:00.000-05:00I would have run for it.

Guess I'm on my own.<BR/><BR/>Lisa - My blood was pumping all right!!! Not much room to do the "snake dance" as my path rows are very narrow. Mostly likely then I would have fallen on my *&^# and done some more screeching!<BR/><BR/>Gail - I don't mind the safe snakes and we don't have many here. Our previous house had rattlesnakes - I personally shot 2 big ones and hoed the heads off of countless little ones in 4 years!<BR/><BR/>Glad you got some rain. We had an inch so far this week - whoo hoo!Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-1626881296584483332008-07-09T11:08:00.000-05:002008-07-09T11:08:00.000-05:00Well you were surprised weren't you, you're allowed to scream in surprise!<BR/><BR/>I welcome snakes...they help keep the rodent population down...you can't tell by my yard, though! There is so much woodland in the wayback that they hang out there.<BR/><BR/>We are getting some rain...not much but it helps!<BR/><BR/><BR/>gailGailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-59070085423912687572008-07-08T19:09:00.000-05:002008-07-08T19:09:00.000-05:00Nothing like a snake crossing your path to get the ole blood to pumping. No photos needed for your description is quite enough. I probably would have done the same screech only I probably would have done the 'snake dance'.

I haven't seen them in the yard, but our cats are hunters and I hope have scared them all off.Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11362388110616132059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-19021866510306736982008-07-08T07:26:00.000-05:002008-07-08T07:26:00.000-05:00Lori - well, i've had lots of snake experience - I've even shot two rattlesnakes at our last house, so I know who is and isn't dangerous! And this is our third snake in as many weeks. I giant grass snake in the garage, and then I saw one just like this one in the back bed last week - and they are very distinctly identifiable. Glad you got rain - it was nice, wasn't it?Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-79455553692634696192008-07-07T22:15:00.000-05:002008-07-07T22:15:00.000-05:00Congratulations for not running for the hills! I can't tell one snake from another down here, so I probably would have assumed that it could kill me and then freaked the heck out. ;)<BR/><BR/>And yay for the rain! I've finally gotten a measurable amount. All of the other little showers the rest of the Austinites have reported over the last week or so managed to pass me by.Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16233060833186241702noreply@blogger.com
