Did I ever mention......

.....that I was NOT raised in the "country" but that I've lived in the "country" for the last ten years since I've been married. In our first home we lived down this long gravel driveway and one of the neighbors who lived at the top of the road had emu, chickens, and a big fat black pig. There would be days when the pig would get out and I'd have to sit on the road in my car waiting for the pig to move. I'd be thinking to myself "where am I and whose life am I living right now?"

In my last house we had room for some livestock ourselves. We didn't have any of our own, but at one point we let some friends cows come and graze in our field for about 4-5 months. Well, this one time the cows somehow got out of the field and into our actual yard. I was on the phone desperately trying to reach my hubby as I was running around my yard trying to corral the cows. It was quite a site.

Now we are building our third house and currently living in our shop during the process. Since we've been here I have had a mouse in my car and a.........

SNAKE in my living area!!!!!!

So, again I ask..."whose life am I living?" Guess it's mine! And it never seems to be boring! (this was like a month ago, but I'm a deliquent blogger lately)


ok, I must confess that this snake was only about 7 inches long, so I put on the big zoom lens and got a good shot so that ya'll would think it was REALLY BIG!!! Did it work?

And thank you to my neighbor boy...BD.....for coming over and "saving the day" for me!!
