In our continuing series "I looked Out the Window," we have a whopper of tale. Yesterday, we had some neighborhood friends over. The kids started to form a nice little huddle that quickly spread...a formation that could only mean one thing: a snake!
Yep, in the balmy month of October, there was a snake in our yard. The "snake charmers" informed me that it wasn't poisonous, because it didn't have a diamond pattern or didn't have bright colors. Boy, did I feel better then- yeah, right!
Moments of "true boyhood" came out as they tried to feed a worm and tomatoes to the snake, as they discovered that a snake pees (oh joy!) and where it pees from, and as they tried to frighten the neighborhood with the poor little scared snake.
The snake was released into the great and spacious field (and you've never seen a happier snake than this one who was finally released from the clutches of our little clan).
