I'm back!

Yes, I survived Hurricane Irene. Now to find some time to write up the fun stuff (not) and post pictures. High winds, rain, snakes! Tonight, I hope...

Plus, since there are soooo many computer-savvy folk out there... I need to get a netbook, or a PC that small. My laptop is nice but it's breaking my arm. I need more portability. I like to type, which is why I'm not into a tablet. My main goal is web access, working in Word / Excel.

Any suggestions?

Snakes and deer, oh my!

Here's the snake that I almost stepped on the other night, down in the basement. I stuck it in a cooking pot, as it was handy, and it was tiny, a young hatchling. I put on plastic gloves cuz I know from experience as soon as you pick up a snake, they exude this awful stench (aka piss) all over your hands. Yech! It was cute, and good thing to know, non-venemous. I released him in the pachysandra patch.



Meanwhile, I spied a young buck in the backyard.  He glared at me, of course, although I was a distance away.



Now to sort out and load up my Hurricane Irene pictures...
