Mornin' Cuzzies, Beautiful day as we wind down the last of May.....school's getting out, and there are lots of year end celebrations for the babies. Frens are going to high school graduations, college graduations.....some for grandchulins. Mercy! Just busy, fun times. Heard an interesting story abt. the woods the other day.....if you have raccoons, you won't have any snakes. Coons evidentally do special numbers on snakes. Ah guess that's true because, knock on wood, we haven't seen a snake in years around here, in otherwise very snakey country. Several years ago I ran into several coral snakes, but they are so shy. One pair was cavorting on the front walk.....when they saw me, they screamed, "Eeeek!" and slithered away as fast as they could. They aren't at all like rattlesnakes, very non-friendly sorts, who immediately coil, start rattlling those rattles saying, "Bring it on, Baby!" Sisters-in-law made it back from their European soiree in one piece. They had a 4 hour extra air trip over Europe navigating the volcanic ash; otherwise, no probs. Three of them....stomping around over there.....ages 83, 87, and 90. Can you imagine! Lovely day! Enjoy! ( : Buckette
