An unexpected scare!~

Man, the air is cool today.  I am so happy.  I love this time of year.  I must remember to get my plants in soon off of the deck.  It is getting too cool to keep them outside anymore.

My son and I were walking down by the pond rather late in the evening yesterday looking for his cat, Simba, and walking my dog, Mary Jane.  I saw something move and said, "What is that?"

It was so well camouflaged, we almost didn't see it.  It matched the dirt and rocks at the pond perfectly.

It was a young Copperhead snake.  It perfectly matched the dirt down by the pond and the bands on it looked like the rocks in the dirt.  Thankfully it moved or my son would have stepped on it.  I thank God for watching over him, as they are poisonous.  I scooped the cat up and called Mary Jane to me to keep her away from it.  My crazy son touched the tail!!!!  I guess having a red tail boa and ball python while he was married made him less afraid of snakes.  Not me, there ain't but one kind of snake to me and it is called, "Snakekillit!!!!!!"  Hee.........

It has been a long day.  Think I will go to bed now.  I worked from 10:00 AM until 8:00 PM, so I am quite tired.

Hubby started his new job today.  He called me about mid afternoon telling me the job they took him to was in the middle of nowhere and he only had 8 miles to go until empty, he didn't know where he was and how far it was to a gas station.  He told me what road he was on and I knew the town, so I got on Mapquest and figured out where he was.  I told him to keep going in the direction he was going and he would come to a main thoroughfare.  He told me he was scared because he only had three miles to go until empty.  I started praying and I heard him say, "Oh thank, God.  A little country store with only one gas pump, but at least it has one gas pump!  Thank God.  I was afraid I was about to be stranded in the middle of nowhere."

I have to admit I breathed a sigh of relief myself.  Thank you, Lord, for watching over him once again.  I told him which roads to take to get back to familiar territory.  All is well.

My daughter is getting a new bed tomorrow.  It is a gift from her grandmother.  She doesn't know it.  She has been wanting a full bed.  Right now, she has a daybed.  We are in the process of painting her room purple and white.  Somehow, don't think the sky blue carpet is gonna go with those colors. :-P  Maybe we can change it out for her before too long.

Anywho, must get in bed.  So tard.

Nite all!~
