You must be very careful
when hunting for snakes.
They sneak up on you
when the silence breaks.

That's why I love fall,
the dry leaves on the ground.
You can hear them slithering
in time enough to turn around

They are fast in the water,
and even faster on land,
it's just a matter of time before
the snake gets the upperhand-

But I'm having fun,
it cures the boredom well,
I'll have many stories
I hope I live to tell.

Hello Dixie, what a beautiful picture of you! You look not only great, but also very healthy, in harmony with nature. So you will live to tell the stories!

I am not very courageous regarding snakes, I remember some we had in the grass in Switzerland, but they were harmless.

Enjoy your surroundings and be safe!

Love,
Margherita

You having a cookout with all those snakes, Dixie? Dig those high-topped books, snake protector.
