Yikes!

Visitor yesterday! I think he likes eggs so I put a hoe by my back door! He was cooling off on my back porch but scurried off when I opened the door!

Snakes used to really frighten me but now not so much. I won’t grab one by the tail like my brother Richard would. I’ve  seen him do that when I was just a girl and it scared me to death. My Dad’s farm had an old rock quarry on it. They quarried rock from it for building. It was a home to many snakes.

When we were teenagers, Fleta encountered a huge black snake on the old rock quarry. We look like we are pleased with our prize.

I see I’m wearing those knockoff Ked shoes. That was in style. I recall wishing I could have the real thing but ours were just copies. We would wash them and apply white shoe polish when they were wet. They dried really white. Mine would rip across my bunion on my big toe. I have big feet and a small brain. I wore a 9 when I was young. Fleta an 8 and Helen a 7. I hated my bigger feet. I still have them.

This is at Harrison,  AR. It must have frightened many crawling down the street.
