I cannot believe how quickly July is flying by. Here we are with only a week left this month. Things have been going well--the TV has remained off during the day, and I have been taking breakfast on the patio each morning. Well, except for one day... there was an unwelcome visitor on the back steps:
This snake, which was incredibly long--slithered himself across the back porch, down the side, and back under the stairs. He (she?) is a black rat snake, which is the "good kind of snake to have," they tell me. Cosmo (the dog) went outside ahead of me, and when I stepped onto the porch, he was not even a foot away from the snake, very curious about this new-to-him creature. The snake wasn't aggressive, and I lured Cosmo away with a treat.
My niece and nephew stayed with us this past week, and we had a super time. My nephew went to soccer camp all day for five days (who wants to play soccer for 7 hours a day!?!?!), while my niece and I had a sewing camp. I taught her how to use her machine and to follow a pattern, She made a few items and we had a fun week.
