It's so hot and dry, and I know they're just looking for water. But it does unnerve me a little bit.

Everyone told me how great it would be, but they never talked about how heart wrenching it is at times.

One showed up in our backyard one day. I was about to try and pick it up on a dare (from an unruly cousin) I was probably 6 or 7 yrs old. My mom came in the nick of time, and called an uncle who got rid of it. That's how I learned what they look like. He hadn't yet shaken his rattles.<br /><br />Another uncle shot one in the middle of a backcountry road when I was younger too. So, I'm not fond of snakes. <br /><br />Stay safe there, Inger. btw - that is a BIG tumbleweed. Bears scare me too. I'm a wuss when it comes to wild animals with big teeth and claws.D.G.
