Rain Rain Go Away

Over 24 hrs of a constant rain. Actually saw the sun for about an hour this morning. Enough time to feed and weatherize the animals.

Need the rain but sure do wish this early storm would move !!!!! has not moved in 24 hrs. just setting in the Gulf. 

Oh the rain is starting again.  Oh goody.

We are safe hoping we weather this one well.

Is Debbie still doing Dallas?

Is Debbie still doing Dallas?

Ever since the 80's, but aren't you thinking of another thread ?

You guy's....

Now it looks like Debby is doing Florida future cast shows the eye traveling about 20 30 miles North of us. 

Took pictures of the swamp a few weeks back before the first storm. We got some rain filled up a little but dried out again before this one. When it is all over will post the before and after pictures of the swamp.

No...I was thinking of this thread by playing on a reference to storm Debbie down in the Gulf right now.

Of here are the picks of the swamp.



This before.




This after. It is still rising., but flowing back into the swamp so we are still high and dry.

 Hope we don't get another storm anytime soon. We want be so dry.  And the snakes are out. Was working over at the shop were the grass is really thick, only saw the tail end of the business when it cam up out of the grass and over the garbage I was picking up.  I could not see him and he must have not seen me until I got to close. 

What kind of snakes do you have round there?


You have all the cool stuff.   Only thing you stumble across around here is cute fuzzies like rabbits and deer.  Go east 50 miles or so and you get to where rattlesnakes can just survive.
Found a scorpion once when rock climbing. That was cool. 

But I want alligators and things in my back yard!

Can I come live with you?    I don't eat much and promise not to kill you. 

Well the list for snakes is long... Cotton mouth, Diamond back, Pygmy rattler, Coral just to name a few.

On the  nonpoisonous to many to list. Except the worst invader of the everglades the beloved (NOT) Burmese Python. Still waiting on those to be outlawed as pets. They can eat a goat, alligators, and small children. 

I grew up with snakes so not a real big thing to me except on the poisonous ones. My dad would catch cotton mouth and moccasins every year when we lived in NC.  Kept them in 10 gal fish tanks. He never taught me how to catch the poisonous ones. I was too young.  Not that I would really want too. We lived on a camp and he would go out before the campers came and catch the ones to close to the camp, not sure what he did with them after the summer was over.

We have all kind of fuzzes, and non fuzzes, armadillos, opossums, had otters a few years back in the swamp. 

I have found one scorpion in the change return on a pay phone.. That hurt. They are small down here.

The pictures of the Eagles on other thread were in the back yard too.

Sure come on down not too worried about you killing me. Husband was bitten by an alligator and we ate him for dinner.
