Apr. 19, 2006 - Whew! What a week!!
What a week!! 
Let's see... what news do I have to share? Oh yes!
Look at what Molly found in our backyard last Wednesday late afternoon. She heard to dogs barking and went to investigate...
See his lovely pattern?
YEP! An Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake!!! 
Here he is in all his DEAD glory!
Five meet long, fully mature, 12 plus rattles.
Ya know, we like snakes. We're not snake-phobic here by any means, but this fella... he gave me serious shivers! He was about 20 or 25 feet from our back porch...all coiled up and rattling. You could hear the rattling from the porch. I'm so proud of the dogs!! They kept him cornered, barking, darting in and out of his range! They did a great job of protecting us and alerting us that something was going on!!!
THAT was our excitement for the week!
We are so thankful that he didn't hurt anyone!
Be Blessed (and look where you step!)
