Every now and then, a friend will share something with you that you will never forget no matter how hard you try. No. I’m not talking about an S.T.D. (although I would agree that this, too, would be quite memorable).
This photo was sent my way to display the true talent of our local critters. The snake in this picture was scaling a column at her house. She took the photo. Not google. And she doesn’t live too far away either. It’s a display of nature’s incredible mastery of the elements, and this creature’s dexterity is terrifying. These animals truly become one with the earth around them.
After further research, I have learned that snakes typically limit this kind of climbing to structures with stone or brick exterior walls. Lucky for me, our new home is all brick. So ultimately I am good if wolves come knocking but may be hosed if and other animal invaders appear.
Consequently I have come to the conclusion that one of the outcomes below will probably occur in the near future:
- I will build a giant bubble around our brick house and cover it with baby oil to make sure that those suckers will slide off.
- I will never sleep again.
- I will be getting a brand new snakeskin handbag with matching shoes.
Any votes? (Pick the bag and shoes!)

***Thanks for the memories soul sister K!
(Nooooo I wouldn’t really hurt the snake. With that said, he better stay outside or all bets are off.)
