Hi Trudy, I just read your story on Spring's page about the snake. One day when my son was little we went for a walk along the stream by our townhouse. There was a small waterfall with rocks below and we decided to get out on the rocks. All of a sudden a big totally black snake reared up out from between the stones like a cobra does and hissed at us really loud. I was closer to it and it was only about a foot away... my son is twenty-one years old now and I think he still has bad dreams about that snake. I never saw a little kid run away so fast.
I am in the process of unpacking. I just moved May 5th and I was still recovering from the surgery so for me it was a horrendous move. Now I am feeling much better. I am getting my stamina and energy back at last. For a while there I was afraid I would be short of breath forever since my lung collapsed. I went to a Pulmonary doctor and the next day I got better for some wonderful reason without any medication. The shortness of breath just went away.
How are things coming along over your way? Are you having nice weather? Here it is really nice, windy and sunny and kind of chilly, sweater weather today. How is Hardy doing? I hope well. Pet the pups for me. Zen was found, thank goodness. I was on my way to the Shelter to buy another cat. Thankfully they were closed because as soon as we got home the phone rang and it was a call from the people that found Zen. She only ran about a block away, still in the apartment area. I was so relieved to see her again. I think the outside scared her. We have a deck and she won't go anywhere near it. She won't have anything to do with the outside which is kind of good for me. We have three floors here and my son lives with me downstairs. I don't have to worry about her darting out the door because when anyone opens a door she runs the other way. Have a nice evening. Are you doing anything for the holiday. We are going to have our first barbeque of the year. I hope it doesn't rain! Lots.

hi Trudy :) That would have made for a cute picture ! ha..snakes,I just don't take to well to them.I did put up with this one that was here for a too long visit.I really felt sorry for it-tried my best to get the owner to set it free.She said since it was never in nature-the snake would die.I said that snake would meet another snake and that snake would teach it how to live..if not,it would known the feel of soft green grass and the sounds of nature..wait can snakes hear ? ..poor thing will live its life in a big glass cage with a water bowl and a small hut to sleep in..she took it to her grandmother who had a fit..I guess she is no fan of snakes either,ha :)
The turtle was taken to the pond by my husband.I couldn't go at the time..and I ask him tons of questions.Where did you take him..how did he act..did he go into the water..did he look happy ? hahaha..he got a little frustrated at me..so I started again this morning..so the turtle is liking the pond you think,ha ! he will never make a turtle run for me again..Good Night friend ..

Hey Trudy, thanks for the friending.
