Summer

So far I have very much enjoyed my summer vacation.

I have not done much to speak of mostly stayed by the

pool and played with my pup Molly. Brad was home 

for the first weekend, but he had to go back to T-town

for a  May class. And only a few of my friends are coming

home for the summer.

Yesterday when I woke up I went outside to feed Molly

breakfast and let her roam a little while.  I noticed

a baby snake in our pool! Yuck! My heart rate hit the 

roof and I didn't know what to do. I went in the garage 

and found some of my brother's old work boots and 

then grabbed a hoe.

 I was so nervous. I watched it for a

moment before taking my first attempt at killing the horrible 

thing. Yes, I know some snakes are not poisonous but I 

can't tell the difference and I'd rather not have any around.

I missed the first time and ran in the other direction. It must have

been a funny sight now that I think about it. The whole time I 

was praying out loud. Ha! The snake swam away but then came

back to the steps. The second time was a success and I got rid 

of the thing as soon as I calmed down. Meanwhile Molly was

uninterested in the fact that my life was in danger!! She was

running through the sprinklers and trying to get a baseball from 

off the garage shelf. Talk about a guard dog.
