| It had been a quiet day as I was in my room reading and listening to music most of the day. Then in the early evening my granddaughter came running into my room with terror in her eyes. There's a rattlesnake on the porch!, she told me. My son in law had gone out on the porch to smoke when he saw something odd on the porch. He squatted down to see and discovered it was a rattlesnake! As he said, he did not realize how fast he could jump up and sideways to the door! He is afraid of snakes but with the garden hoe was able to kill it. That whole thing put a stop to the peace and quiet. Now I wonder how many are still out there... |
