Morganza Flooding Update and a Baseball Quandary
While the residents of the Atchafalaya Basin and Morganza Floodway breathe a collective sigh of relief, I do so with them. The Army Corps of Engineers had previously put for the worst case scenarios, and not it appears that the flooding will not be as bad nor as widespread as first anticipated.
Will someone please name this spider for me?
I would like to know what kind of spider resides between the “honeysuckle gate” and my swing. Since I’m pretty lazy, could one of you please tell me what this is called? And whether or not it’s poisonous? There just might be something in it for you, too. However, since I don’t want to have…
It's Contest Prize-Drawing Time!
Back in September, I wrote a post about this blog being five years old and asked you to share your stories with us. You did so in great fashion, and I thoroughly enjoyed each one of them. The comments seemed to have stopped now, so it’s time for me to keep my end of the bargain and do the drawing.
Zombie and Soldier Arrested!
A zombie was seen roaming the streets in a local subdivision, frightening everyone in his path. Witnesses say he was doing something akin to the “Thriller Dance”. When asked what he was doing, he groaned something about a soldier and a gun. This image was captured on hidden camera . . . It appears the…
Duck Season: Preparations
I’m sorry I have been MIA, but there are lots of things to do in order to prepare for a duck hunt. And of course, all these things could have been done within the last six months. For some reason, my sons procrastinate as long as they can, and since both of my adult sons…
CooNee does the laundry!
CooNee: “Hey Mommy, whatcha doin’?” Me: “I’m doing the laundry, CooNee.” CooNee: “Pewee! This laundry is stinky like me!” Me: “Well, this is how we give the laundry a bath , CooNee” CooNee: “May I take my bath with the stinky laundry?” Me: “No, CooNee! The washing machine is a dangerous place for little raccoons.”…


Wow! Is this a rat snake?
Yes, that would be correct! I think it was thinking about eating some kitten.
…..O….M….G…!!!!!…….T.h.u….d! Don’t care how long I live down here…I never get used to those things…also knowing it’s dead…just seeing termite holding it…my skin is crawling with the shivers…ok..just breathe…
I pulled a copperhead out from under my push mower prior to starting it this week..but it was only 7-8 inches…I mowed my lawn on my tippy toes mind you….You have found my weakness…and it’s ssssssssnakes! I can’t quite looking at that young man holding it….I have watched them climbing trees, seen them sleeping in holes in the ground, slithering off patio roofs, and dug them up with potatoes…They are E V E R Y W H E R E….but I can’t get used to them!!! uuuugh…errrh..thanks for sssharing…(Termite..go wash your hands baby!!!!)
Deb in Tx, with one shakey cup of coffee…shhhezzzzzzzz
Yea, I’m with you, Deb. I hate to kill a non-poisonous snake, but this one startled him and the big yellow dog, and yes he did use his Christmas present on it. Watch out for those copperheads, though.
Hope Termite used his Christmas present on “God’s one mistake”.
Yes, he surely did!
Yikes. I try to maintain an agreement with the snakes around our place: you stay outside of our property lines, and I won’t kill you. Unless you’re a copperhead, and then all bets are off.
Yeah, I just remembered, I can’t come down the bayou… ever… again. *shudder* Where WAS that?! And it’s a king snake, right?
Oh… missed the first comment. Rat snake. I can see it now. I’m going to have to adopt ALL those little kitties!
Please, please please come get the kitties. Better yet, I’ll drop them off with a bag of food, and Muzicman will just think they belong to the big white house next door, where they ALWAYS have cats, right? Hey, that sounds like a good plan!
It’s the water moccasins from the pond across the road that I REALLY hate to find in my yard! Big, black ugly vipers.
You go, Termite!!!!
Cuz, we don’t tolerate water moccasins here AT ALL!
