So I'm pretty sure
.. the snake was just as startled as I was....but at least there wasn't any blood involved! ~L~
Man do I ever have an aversion to snakes!! I was mowing grass tonight and reached down to pull some weeds from my rock garden ....and there he was. Long, slimy, and stealth.....just laying there in the rocks sunning himself as if he owned the place! So not cool! I screamed and attempted to run away but my feet wouldn't move.... I was frozen in place. And the stupid snake didn't even have the common courtesy to slither away! It just laid there with it's beady little eyes fixed on me! Course, if it was like me, it was frozen in place also. All I know is that we stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity before I picked up a rock and threw it at him - then screamed when it started to move. I'm pretty sure that it was thinking "geeze lady....pipe down and let me get out of here!" ~LOL~
One would think that growing up on a farm and living on a ranch would have me hardened to the sight of snakes, mice, and spiders. Nope! I'm one big chicken wussy when it comes to things like that. Like, I know we have mice in our garage. So...if I need to go to my vehicle for something, I'll knock on the inside garage door and say "get away little mouse" before actually going in to the garage. You know, kinda announcing myself and giving THEM plenty of time to scurry to a safe distance away so that I don't see them. Isn't that nice of me? ~L~
It gives me the heeby jeebies when I see them first, but it's twice as bad if the sneak up on me by surprise! ~L~ Nope, I'm a chicken wussy and I'm proud of it. You can bet your last dollar that I'm not going to be doing any more weeding of my rock garden unless I have a huge stick in my hand! ~LOL~
