"Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made."
Genesis 3:1a
This morning I was doing billing for Cross Cuts Ltd. when Caleb called my name. I turned around quickly to find the scaly body of a snake two inches from my face. Yes, I did squeal but I soon recovered! ;)
Anyways, Caleb had found the slippery fellow in the chicken coop. And there were actually two snakes in the coop, but dad just brought the biggest one inside. ;) [The one pictured on this post is the 6 footer and the one not pictured was 2-3 feet long.]
They are kinda' cute...
I always knew Daddy had snake in his bloodline! ;)
The snake was huge!
See how thick he is?
One last picture of this creepy critter!
Life in the country can rarely be boring! ;)

I've been wanting to post this video for awhile but I haven't figured out the HTML stuff to embed it into this post, so you'll have to go here to watch it. The video is of Daddy on our newly constructed zip line that he got for his birthday! Daddy's always wanted a zip line, so we excitedly put it up a week or two ago. Daddy was the first one to try it out because he didn't want any of us to get hurt, in case it broke. (The video is on photobucket....so watch out for the ads. They definitely aren't the best.) Watch it now - it's very short and funny! :)
Okay, let's just say that the "first trip" was a failure. (Lexi reported that there was a brown trail from where Daddy slid along the ground! ;) Since that location didn't work we moved it over between two other trees and now it's in much better shape. We "zip" on it almost every time we're outside. We sit in a little sling Daddy made for us and then enjoy the ride! :)
Delighting in Jesus,

That is so cool! Did he hurt the eggs/chickens? One got into our chicks that was just a little smaller than that and killed one :( What did you do with them?
