A Ranger’s Warning

What a great night sleep…Took a good shower….Had breakfast…Turned on the computer…Watch The Today Show…Mary Ann wants to go shopping and I want to carve…That works out great…I don’t like shopping and Mary Ann has more fun by herself…I get the carving  equipment out of the car and Mary Ann is ready to go…Ranger comes by and said a large snake was headed our way…Mary Ann was in the Car by this time and called me our phones (she was apprehensive about getting out of the car)…Well here comes the snake across the road, by our utilities, and under the motor home…The excitement began to mount…I opened the door to the motor home and watched it crawl out…It was a good size snake…About four to four and half feet long…Yellow in color with black diamonds, straight head, no rattles…A harmless bull snake…The ranger and I watched it crawl off into the trees and down toward the lake…Well the excitement was over, people begin to leave and Mary Ann went shopping…I will now go and carve…I am carving some more cowboy boots…There are a lot of magpies around…I want to take some pictures of them and start to carve one…I can’t believe I didn’t have my camera to take pictures of the snake…Talk To you later…Philip

  1. That was scary about the snake. Glad it as only a bull snake. Enjoyed the pictures of the motorhome and car. Not much going on here. We bought groceries today. Have a good day carving. Sis
