Yet another grey rat snake and definitely not the same one as last time.

This one, we think, was hanging at my across the street neighbor’s yesterday and spent ninety minutes trying to get into one their bluebird boxes. There are hatchings there.

Last night at 11:40, I took the dogs out for the last time and he was laying in the side yard, not far from where I videoed the one before.

Today, he is hanging out under my next door neighbor’s heat pump.

This snake is over seven feet in length. May approach eight.

Precious and I went tiptoeing through the back field this evening. Here are some tasty treats that we spotted, and sampled.

This volunteer peach tree is growing in my fence row right behind the neighbor’s house. I figure somebody threw a peach seed across the fence years ago and voila! I’ve let it grow and this year there’s fruit on it.

While the back field is full of blackberries, I also have a patch of these up on the hill just now getting ripe. These wild raspberries are one of my favorites. We’re going to throw caution and diabetes to the wind and precious has promised me a raspberry cobbler. (Don’t tell the doctor).

My youngest boy’s little pup decided she liked pulling and eating the raspberries too! This is Meggy (1/2 Australian Shepherd, 1/4 Border Collie, 1/4 Blue Heeler, and heck on wheels!).

Hey dog, I've been skiing in Vancouver via Seattle and did some sight seeing in Seattle over 10 years ago. Mt. Ranier was socked in both times. Nice picture!

Probably too dry in texas we got plenty snails none like that one though. Been raising thornless blackberries for a few years. Picked 4 gallons this morning. Picked 4 gallons 2 days ago also. I am going to start giving some sprouts away. This is too much like work.
