Hey Vic,
It was the shade garden that was important in this story. Somehow it played second fiddle to the snake. Glad you picked up on it. Thanks!
Hetty, seems my stories leave most people laughing, but the truth is - that was a very quiet moment in time. Sometimes the stories trigger a memory in people and it's their own memory that creates their reaction. Most people say leave the past behind, but my past is so much a part of my present, it's difficult to do.
I hope you have good memories, too.
Thanks Ladies!
