It has been such a cold spring that we have had no sign of snakes. But here we had two 80-degree days and out they come. This pair was making baby snakes, so I am happy to say we got them before the eggs could be laid as tiny baby rattlers can get through the neighbor's snake fence. Our snake fence is very small.
We made an appointment for next Thursday for Roscoe's 4th rattlesnake booster. Last night it was raining when I walked in the dark down the long driveway to the neighbors to go and feed her cats. Now we have to use flashlights instead of just tripping down the pavement in the dark. If there are snakes, they like to come out at night and bask on the pavement. Nasty little buggers.
Hubs went all around the property and rechecked all the fencing and it is secure.
It is very humid here and I do not do well in humidity. I don't like it, and I am used to dry heat. Plus, I get Kim humidity hair.

Imagine me only my hair is longer, so I look even better.
We finally got all the garden planted. My eggplant, and all my squash from dollar store seeds are up and out. Now we just have to tend and hope the animals stay out.
I did not get into the shop until late yesterday. Mostly because my back was bothering me, and I had to get the rest of that lace on that wedding dress, which was tedious bent over work. I only got to three bridesmaid dresses, but then again, they were not just hems which are fast and easy. One had to be taken in and another had to have straps and darts put on it. They just took longer.
I need to get in and finish that denim vest for a pickup today, and then take a good look at the work line up for next week.
I can't believe this month is over. It went by so dang fast. It is supposed to rain all weekend, drat! That along with the heat will bring more humidity as she sits here with sweat rolling down her back.
I am really tired of sewing, and there is no end to the work in sight. If Hub's had not had hell week starting next Monday for Cinderella, I would have driven somewhere. Anywhere that did not have a sewing machine.
But then I remind myself I am blessed with work. Saving hard and working hard allows me to meet my goals, which are in my eyes substantial.
Are you doing anything fun for this holiday weekend?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
Kim
Snakes scare me. Good job on getting your seeds in and doing something with the bridesmaid dresses. We have high humidity here too. Today has been off and on rain, which just makes the humidity go up. Not sure about this weekend. Today was my last day of work as a lunch lady at school so I am off for the summer. This weekend I will be cleaning house since it has been neglected over the last 2 weeks due to end of the year crap for my kids and crazy work schedules. I will take the kids to our towns Memorial Day parade on Monday though. Have a good weekend Kim!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel, snakes scare me also. I hope you have a nice summer now that you are done with work.
DeleteNope, nope, just nope. No rattle snakes thank you! Oh my goodness, that would just terrify me to no end. Not a snake person!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to believe that we are at the end of the fifth month! Time flies.......
I will be staying home - as never been one to celebrate on Memorial Day. That is a solemn day to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice - and I know some that did. So I will be reflecting on their wonderful lives and all the others that have fought for our freedoms and those of others. Have a blessed weekend.
Thanks, Cheryl. I am not too excited about the little darlings either.
DeleteI could not even begin to imagine living with snakes nearby. We are lucky to not have them here in New Zealand ... when I lived in Australia for awhile they used to scare the wobblies out of me. I hope the snake fencing keeps them out Kim. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteOurs seems to do a good job it is the poor neighbors that are having the problem.
DeleteMy son had a gray rat snake INSIDE the house. His ferrets were playing with it so he rescued it and put it outside. My other son had a cute little black racer on his doorstep last week. They entertain me when they “periscope”… lol, you can tell I am country. Both boys had to send me pics so I could confirm they were non venomous. I don’t like rattlers nor water moccasins nor copperheads. I don’t think I have ever seen a coral snake in the wild tho because I work and liven slightly north of their boundaries. They are on the coast. Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteBoys and their snakes. I had a pet garden snake when I was in the third grade and then it bit me and that was the end.
DeleteOk, inviting me to jump on a plane and come visit and then blogging about rattlesnakes there?!? No thanks. lolz
ReplyDeleteOh for heaven sakes, they would just want to kiss your little toes.
DeleteTheHub left the big freezer door slightly ajar and we now have about an inch of frost on all the shelves. I told hime this time he has to help me defrost it. Does that qualify as a fun holiday weekend?
ReplyDeleteWell don't you just want to beat them senseless?
DeleteI'm craving ice cream, so we'll probably drum up some of that this weekend. Other things: taking Sam & a friend bowling & to lunch (celebrating the end of the year), dinner out with M, and I'm attending a free workout class with a friend. That's it. No soccer games, minimal tennis. Should be great.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to have a free weekend, I thought I was going to get one but the universe had other plans.
DeleteTomorrow, we are going to a market, small and great things. I need to rest up from cooking today...lol. I doubt we do anything except to tend flowers. But, there is nowhere I want to go.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good place to be in life, not wanting to go anywhere.
DeleteMy hair goes limp in humidity. I would count myself fortunate if I had any volume, even if was frizz.
ReplyDeleteMine takes on a life of its own.
DeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend Kim.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori, to you too!
DeleteSnakes! Ugh! I guess one gets used to them over time. Hope you could rest a little bit and enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteI will never get used to the snakes, but I am aware of them for safety sake.
