Ahhhh….spring is really,
really, officially and incredibly here! How
do I know? What did I
find? Who did I see? I found my official sign of spring yesterday,
right in my backyard!
No, it is not baseball or softball. It is not flowers,
green
grass or tree buds. All of those things may be signs of spring
for you…but for Krumbs and I, spring officially arrives when the snakes
start crawling through my backyard grass.
And no, I am not CRAZY!!!
Yesterday, Krumbs and I were
walking across the yard, basking
in the bright, warm sun. We were walking
slowly because the sun felt SO GOOD after a few cooler, rainy
days. When we arrived at the edge of our
flower garden, we stopped to see what was growing and there it was!!!
Stretched across a gray rock
and preening in the golden light, lay a beautiful greenish-brown
snake. It was so content, (kind of like Krumbs and
I, right?) that it looked right at us and didn’t even move! Of course we were thrilled…and we announced
the official
start of spring!
How about you? Do you love sleek, slithery snakes? Do these remarkable reptiles make you shiver with joy or shake with fear? If you are a fan of snakes, we’d like to
recommend Alicia Klepies’ article about unusual snakes on the Imagination Café. The author tells about three amazing and
unusual snakes found in Australia—check it
out by clicking here!
Have a great weekend my
friends. We’re off to hunt snakes…and
maybe take a photo for next week. Check back soon!
