That might be one I'd like to have at the farm. I don't have any problem with a Dr. Seuss book on the coffee table! <br /><br />As for that poem, wow, just wow.

I hate...Oh my gosh, that scared the crap out of me. I hate snakes and can't even look at pictures of them. So when I come up on one on a blog, I scream and cover my eyes then try to turn it off. I'm sorry, but to me, the only good snake is a dead snake. I know, I get in trouble every time I say that. But I am scared so much I have nightmares of them. I mean LOTS of them. This past summer, after I had just finished mowing the garden yard, I was walking back to the house and heard the loudest rattling sound. I have never heard a rattle snake before, and I wouldn't have even known that's what this was if I had't seen the tail going up under my utility trailer. My white cat, who is deaf, was sitting there looking at it. My 2 stupid dogs were right there too. I got them inside and called my friend up the road. He was home! And came with his rifle in about 2 minutes. He shot it one time and blew it to pieces! That's the 4th snake I have seen in my yard. I live with hay fields all around me. So they come through the yard but don't ever leave. So since I can't look at pictures, I have no idea what they are. Be careful! You just never know.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754379649711551718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-83223785715321104912013-03-31T14:23:17.845-05:002013-03-31T14:23:17.845-05:00:) Bet that was a nice little surprise to keep lif...:) Bet that was a nice little surprise to keep life interesting. <br /><br />Happy Easter!The Stay @ Home-Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102175625149771801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-66230124780816764052013-03-31T09:05:09.105-05:002013-03-31T09:05:09.105-05:00Ha, sorry about that.

Lawrence poem that i read as a child called Snake. reading that poem, and Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax" really taught me a lot about nature and saving creatures and that other living beings have a purpose - cuz ya know, the Bible says that God created all of us for a reason. i am really glad that you let the baby snake be....here is a link to the poem if you wish to read it. it really had an impact on me -<br />http://unix.cc.wmich.edu/~cooneys/poems/dhl.snake.html<br />and if you want, i will type out "The Lorax" in an email to you, i have had a copy of that book since i was 4 (although many copies had to be replaced because i dropped the book in the tub)...i still can't read it without crying. but with tears of hope....because<br /><br />"UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."<br /><br />ack. i learned that line when i was about 4 and have never, ever forgotten it.<br /><br />your whole post reminded me of the Lawrence poem and The Lorax. i think that you will appreciate both. sorry for being so sentimental. but i like you and 2nd Man. and i like what you are both doing.<br /><br />your friend,<br />kymberkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-32835420450001692642013-03-30T23:45:08.751-05:002013-03-30T23:45:08.751-05:00Unfortunately the snakes I see never look like the...Unfortunately the snakes I see never look like the ones in the pictures so I never know for sure.
