Rattlesnakes scare me
This drought is getting bad. I was standing under a tree soaking
it down with a full stream of water from the water hose when I noticed a little rattlesnake about ten inches long making a run for the water. He was moving fast. I killed him with a stick and cut his head off. After watering I picked him up by the tail and it was moving all around. I dropped it and it was moving forward just like it still had a head and was going somewhere. It was big enough that it had some little buttons on it's tail. Last year, mid April I killed a pregnant female rattlesnake. This is only the third rattlesnake I've seen and killed in 26 years at this house. I hope we get some rain soon. The water well is pumping almost non-stop. Fires are breaking out everywhere. Coyotes are drinking out of the stock tank. I surprised a skunk at the marsh last week and it surprised me. It was stomping around in there like it was having a good time. I hope no one complains because I killed that rattlesnake. When they hang around the house, they're gonna die. -- |
