Sunshine and Snakes

Yes, this post will have photos of snakes. :) But first, a bit about sun!


The last two weekends have been gorgeous weather. Everyone has been soaking it up.

The first weekend in May was sunny, but still a bit cold. Still, in desperation I set up an outside elaborate reading station. I like my picnic bench set up, but sometimes my back needs a break.


Nim loved this. He could lay right next to me under the umbrella. The umbrella is heavy and was balanced in a garbage can full of weeding. It kept falling over and it was a pain in the rear. I need a better system.

This photo is from May 3rd so Nim's foot was still wrapped. He is doing much better this weekend.


This weekend was sunny and MUCH warmer. I have been waiting for my snakes to come out and on Saturday I got to see two of them. As you can see from the blur, this one was particularly uncooperative.


The one in the bush is my favorite. He is actually below my bedroom window. I couldn't figure out what Emile was looking out the window and chattering about, but finally I spotted him. I had no idea they would come off the ground like that and settle in bushes.


This weekend was too short...

  1. So glad Nim's foot is doing better, and yay, yay, yay for sunshine! And snakes! (As long as they're not the bitey poisonous kind).

  2. I like your lounging set up. Very clever to use the trash can for the umbrella. I hope Nim is all better soon.

    1. I loved that set up! I was totally shopping for chairs and options (as you know since we were talking about yours). He is doing a lot better. Such a weird foot injury. Now if the sun would just come back!

  3. Snakes tend to scare the crap out of me in our yard. I'd prefer no such things along with other bugs and critters.

    1. You have some BAD snakes. I wouldn't be happy about yours either...especially since they can hurt the dogs.
