First of all, check out this nice 4 1/2 footer I nearly ran over while it was sun bathing on the pavement in my neighborhood. Drivin' down the street it looked like a piece of trash, I was goin to straddle it, then decided to drive to the side. I was droppin Spence off @ Ben's on my way to work so he was in the car. When I realized it was a snake, I slammed on the brakes, "OH MY GOSH! That's not trash" hahaha I am so glad I didn't straddle it or I would have smooshed the beautiful rattlesnake! hahah I probably should've, but I snatched my camera from of my purse, jumped out of the car and told Spence to turn on the cautions.
It looked like he's been sun-bathing for too long. He burnt his tail and by that I mean charcoaled it.
The grass was a test from Spence to see if the snake was alive.
It was.
I wanted to get a picture with the snake, but thinking twice I realized that a snake bite would make me late for work, so I opted not too, but told Spence that when drivin' home that night, if it was road kill, I was all over that photo-op.
That's #2 reason in a million not to camp in TN: The thriving snake population, copperheads, water moccasins, rattles, etc, we've got em all! Too bad they're not pokemon.
Work has been goin really well this past week. I've gotten past the miserable part. Starting work is always awful because you feel awkward and stiff, but my coworkers love me, as I do, them. It's fabulous, I close with Katelyn just about every night, and she makes me do all the physical work...I'm always exhausted when I get off and sometimes it makes me a little buggy, but then again it's a nice mini-workout, right?
Also, not only am I incredibly blessed to HAVE a job, but the 30 minute drive is breath-taking every time. There is no place like Tennessee, I could tell anyone, but you won't understand until you see the real-deal.
This is my ENTIRE drive until I get to the store where I work.
Just me, my music and the farms.
