Anaconda on My Front Porch




I cannot believe that I am blogging about a S N A K E. I came home from grocery shopping and unloaded groceries from the car, and passed by it twice, and on the third pass, I saw it, and about dropped all of the groceries. GROSS! I called Vernon who was not home at the time and told him there was a snake on the front porch. I took this picure blindly by reaching around the corner with my right hand and holding the door open with my left hand. The second time I tried to spy on him, he got startled and jumped, and I FREAKED. When Vernon got home, I showed him through the glass door where it was and told him to get rid of it - Kill it. He said it is "just a grass snake", and I said "IT'S A SNAKE", need I say more. He went to grab it, and it took off through a small hole beside the front door, great. It's not enough that I have to watch for snakes at work, but not I have to watch out for them at home. Of course I haven't seem it again, thank God, but not so sure that I won't come into the foyer some day, and be a "All Grown Up Snake" laying there. Then we will have to sell the house, of course, given I live through it.
