Duh!!

Saturday evening the kids come up to the shop, they found a snake. Being that I love snakes I was the first out. I went out picked up the snake and we all looked at it. It was about 12 inches long. Bill arrives and says I think that is a copperhead. Yeah right is my thinking, so we get a jar and put it in there. Doug is coming out after all, we must save it for him. (He REALLY hates snakes!!) After upon further inspection I am beginning to wonder what kind it is, so off to see a few neighbors. They all say that it is a copperhead and chew my ass for picking it up, the babies are more poisonous than adults. Now after further research it was a copperhead. What the hell was I thinking just going out there and picking it up. Before the snake ws killed, we had all the kids take a good look at it and let them know that they are to stay away from a snake that looks like that one. It hurt to have to watch the snake be killed, but since it was a poisonous snake it had to be done. I also will have to stop picking up snakes, I don't want my kids to think that they can just pick up any snake.

Also since I know most of my friends HATE snakes, I have added a picture, just for that squirmy effect that you have right now!

Love you guys!
