These things are painted up like ’70s muscle cars.

I’ve not posted in a while because two of my coworkers have been out, one with shingles the other with a broken foot. I’ve been filling in. Plus I’ve been watching the Yankees. SO BUSY. I don’t have time for you, Internet.

I finally got to go out after church today. Roxy and I hit the park where we saw lots of damselflies and some ugly dragonflies. I say ugly because they were thick and brown. They were like the moths of the dragonfly family. Still, their wings had a cool pattern on them. Also: no one cares.

Then, at the house, I was standing on the creek bank trying to get this other dragonfly and I heard the sound of something moving in the grass near my feet. you guessed it. A squirmy snake was all, “Iiieeee! she’s back!” and slithered deeper into the grass on the bank. It was less than a foot from my feet. I know it was more afraid of me than I was of it, but still, my heart jumped up into my throat and I may have lost control of my bowels. I’ll probably have a nightmare with a snake in it tonight.

I’ve finished two books and need to post them, but that will have to wait.
