Country Living

Armed with my new "wellies", I have found a new found confidence and got out amongst the weeds the last couple of days.  I weeded in places that I would not have dreamed of putting one foot near a couple of weeks ago and after all the rain you wouldn't believe how many weeds there are.  I have found the perfect spot for our veggie garden although we decided that we still want to put in a couple of raised beds so that the tomatoes etc are closer to the house and I am less likely to forget to water them!

So with my newly found confidence and not a snake in sight whilst weeding you wouldn't believe what I saw this morning as Jordan and I were walking to the car....... um yes, a snake right near the car!!  It was probably 5-6cm wide (which is very big in my eyes) although I only saw middle/bottom part of it disappearing into the rocks.  I have to say I actually found it fascinating to watch but I did drive the car out into the open area to put Jordan in his seat!

I made a "deal" with nature and the snakes a little while back - I'll stay in my areas and you stay in yours.  Well I probably strayed a little into their area's yesterday so it is only fair that they strayed a little into mine but they still kept their deal and went right back to their "snake area" without too much of an infringement on my area so I am happy with that !! 

I leave you with a photo of my brother and SIL's dog who sadly passed away a couple of days ago
He was well loved and left us all with many happy memories
