Thank you all for writing
I just had some compassion for the harmless snake..
I do not like to see even the harmless snakes swallowing
baby birds and that sad to see...a whole nest of them
while the mother is jumping up and down...
and I could not stop what was happening...
However all has to eat and some things happen
that we wish would not..

Spiders..now they do frighten me in the flower bed, those huge big ones
in the dirt or flowers..I back off and let them run ...of I relocate the ones
like the garden spider in the photo I took..they are intelligent because the
striped garden spider will return from the woods where I take it and rebuild
almost in the same spot within 24 hours..

I pick up granddaddy spiders out of porch and I heard the other day they are one of the
most poisonous spiders...BUT because their mouths are so SMALL they can not bite you
is that true?

Oh almost forgot I have seen mosquitos this winter and we got down to ll degrees one night
and several nights in the twenties and thirties..for weeks..

I dread them coming out full force in march till November each year
I contracted encephalitis as a 8 year old from them on the east coast
of south Carolina growing up there..can happen anywhere..

My total recovery was totally due to God and Jesus Christ...
the prayers sent up to God in the name of his son Jesus Christ
from neighbors and those attending
our Christian church..

I enjoyed hearing from all of you.
thanks,
Sheri in Alabama
