“Old age ain’t no place for sissies.” ~ Bette Davis
Ain’t THAT the truth.

I have to admit that I surprised myself yesterday. I was out pulling up the black plastic that we put on the floor of the greenhouse, one of the last parts of our dismantling project. As I pulled up part of it, I saw a MOVING snake! This old lady jumped straight up in the air and high-tailed it back to the house, running as if my life were in the balance. It turned out that the snake was NOT a dangerous one – according to my husband, who, unarmed, walked calmly out there and pulled the plastic off the snake again. He said the head was ’rounded.” That means you won’t die if the snake bites you. With MY track record on stings and bites, I don’t want to find that out personally.
