Scenes...

The heat has arrived already this year and with it, snakes, baby turtles, fresh tomatoes, and some kick ass roses! Under the water trough only a week ago was a beautiful coral snake, I admired him, then "helped" him to a new location with my buggy whip....I may not have been so gallant had I known how deadly they are, apparently full of a potent neuro toxin...greeeaaaaat! I hope he stays relocated! The pic above is of a corn snake I spied driving. He was pretty and NOT deadly! The roses are wild ones who, thanks to our regular doses of dog poop are splendid this year...We had no idea they where even there last year as not one bloom all season, but as we sling our puppy fertilizer over in that clump of weeds? Well now.... I am envisioning a cottage industry.wink wink. Bloom poo? Rose refuse? Shloses? Roshit? There is catchy name out there somewhere..grin! The deer has been a regular for a few months now and even samples chicken scratch that is exposed when I push the tractor to fresh grazing areas. I never found the pot of gold in my garden shed but thats ok, because with honeysuckle perfuming the air and firefly escorting me home on my walks I feel pretty darned lucky as it is.
