Toadly Ho Hum!

If you can believe it this is the only photo I've taken this weekend, lol. This little toad was on the front window sill last night catching bugs and tonight he was back. Fred called me from the living room and said my friend was back and beating himself against the window, lol...He had an even bigger buddy on the front walk but by the time I got the camera he'd taken 3 hops and was hiding in the chili pateen plant, sigh!! What an exciting weekend watching toads, lol.

Michael was out riding his tractor yesterday morning when he came running and screaming SNAKE!! Good boy!! He was scared out of his wits and I took off outside in my nightgown with the broom to see what and where...Fred came out with his snake boots and gun, lol what a sight we made...we looked for about 20 minutes but never found it!! I've been doing frequent walks around the yard looking since then but haven't see any....I asked Michael what did it look like and the only thing he could tell me is it had "red eyes"....sigh...I don't have a clue and pray it wasn't a copperhead...and I'm glad Michael has seemed to pay attention to all my lessons regarding snakes and ran and got me...

We really haven't had any excitement other than that this weekend...it's been raining and storming off and on so we really can't do much outside...we did work on the property yesterday for a couple of hours...Fred tried to play bulldozer with the tractor and didn't get to far, lol...he was trying to clear a path around the swale hole so that Michael and I could walk to the creek but after about 100 ft into the brush he hit water so that didn't work...time to get some bullrock in and just fill the swale hole in....We then took our 4X4 mule back to Freds Dads house and headed over to a neice's house to help her son break a Pinata for his birthday...After that we left and went to Victoria for dinner...in our grubs and all, ewww...The first restaurant we went into we couldn't even get waited on...and after a couple of people that came in after us got waited on we got up and walked out and we weren't a happy family...so we went to a different one and thank goodness service was GREAT!! After that we came home and I went to bed, Fred stayed up until 3am watching movies, ugh!!

Today we went to town and took Michael into TSC and Target to play with the toys, LOL...Yes we take our son into stores to play and not buy toys...pretty sorry aren't we? Michael loves it though and runs from toy to toy checking them out...Once in awhile he'll ask if he can take it home and we tell him No we are just here to play....Ah Well we're cheap and if it's fun what the heck!! So that has been our whole weekend...pretty Ho Hum if you ask me!!
