This farm
life is proving to be more eventful than I ever bargained for. One
evening as we were bringing our dinner to the den to eat, I heard an odd sound
in the darkened hallway. I looked down and only saw the shadow of
something laying across the heater vent on the floor. 
I kept asking ... WHAT IS IT ..WHAT IS IT??? We turned on a
light and heard a "rattle" OMG .. I just KNEW it was a baby rattlesnake in my
hallway!!! Well, after careful research, we discovered it was none other than
an eastern milksnake, complete with rattle imposter.
And then a day or so later, the farmer ran
across a garter snake in the outer pasture. Of course, we, being city folk, had to research to be SURE. And, me being a snap baby snap kinda gal, I had to snap baby snap! These are about as good as it gets for now. I am sure, as we are in the BOONIES ... REALLY in the BOONIES, that we will encounter countless opportunities to assert my photographic passions!

Art picked up a big garter the other day at the pond. We have a 'no snakes allowed' policy at the house because the last 5 the kids adopted ended up loose and never found. Very cool to look at but I don't want to share my house with them, no sirree!
