Rotton as it seems, I think I may as well get used to the fact that I only post on here about every two weeks. Oh well, it isn't like y'all are missing anything...

     Spring finally made it! We somehow missed the mud this year, but it must still be on it's way. Spring, for me, is when the flowers are starting to bloom, the snow is competely melted, and suddenly you can't wait for summer and school to be out.

     Not that I dislike school of course, but I'm ready for a break.

     I was down at the creek the other day with Lucky, who is my dog mostly, and we found a whole pile of (harmless) snakes out in the sun.

     Lucky adores anything that moves, and it looked like fun, so we waded in, and the whole squirming mass of at least eight snakes were slithering all over the place, finally reaching the partially-water covered foundations of an old wellhouse. It was fun. I stood on top of the rocks and me and Lucky played with them for probably a half hour. The snakes were mad because we kept chasing them back underneath the rocks, but we weren't hurting them at all.  

     I found a huge one well over two feet long that I picked up and showed to Dad (my slightly warped logic being that I should pick it up and ask him if it was poisonous... it isn't as dumb as it sounds, really...). I know it sounds stupid, but I knew that Kevin (3yrs old) plays down at the creek and if it was poisonous I wanted it dead. It still sounds dumb, doesn't it?

     It wasn't poisonous, and we let it go; I looked up poisonous snakes in our area later, and they are pretty scarce.

      Not a whole lot going on right now; I'm up in my room killing mosquitos as I type this. I can't stand mosquitos. Never have, never want to. They drive me nuts.

      Not that that has anything to do with anything.

     Anyhow, Fare Thee Well!
