@imallears, @fiesty76, @becsbuddy, @artist01... Fl Mary, sounds like you've lived in sunny south for a while, probably have good, white sand between your toes now instead of icey snow! Glad you enjoy life in Fl. I do, too, but do get tired of the humidity when it's really hot. Don't breath so well then, so AC is my friends. BUT, even love I love the snow, not the ice and I couldn't survive in the cold, would have to stay inside there too.....POOH! Love them both, but body rebeles and you listen.
Hope your walking snakes aren't rattlers, more the black or green or garden variety. Anyway, most are scared of you more unless you threaten them. Previous home backed up to a lovely creek that flows into the St. Johns River. In the woods and shared space, sort of, with moccasins. They aren't afraid of anything and are very aggressive! Don't like them at all.....had one in back of my condo, thought he was a small baby dying.....started to p/u w/stick and he became very alive, opened his white cotton mouth and attacked me! Summer, I was in sandals and shorts and totally unprepared....I ran faster since he was hurt.
Not a snake person, but rattlers do taste good.
Mary, it's hot today! 81, sunny and beautiful. Going for little walks with my hot pink walker....will report in. Won't be long as it's too hot for me. blessings, enjoy this life! elizabeth
