Blackberry Pickin' and Snakes

No I didn't start going to a snake charmer church. Today, Gabby Hayes came to fix the light in our bedroom and do some more muddin'. Then I cleaned the whole house. I looked out the window and saw the next door neighbor leaning over the fence and taking blackberries off my blackberry bush. I think I caught her off guard. Anyway, it reminded me that I should go pick my blackberries (before everyone else did or they all rotted). So I went out in my flip-flops (said in an Uncle Bobby accent) and picked a gallon or so of blackberries. There are still a ton on the bush. I got my hands purple and very torn up with thorns. (My daddy's got the other glove). Anyway, I took Rodney to practice and went shopping. That was my day. Oh forgot to mention the snake. Rodney went to mow the lawn and after the lawnmower broke and completely ate itself, Rodney found a snake that was like three feet long. He touched its back with a stick and its tail buzzed, but I'm sure it wasn't a rattler...I hope. Anyway, it crawled into Terresa's backyard. Oh well.
