Lindsea's Scary Adventures....really!

I was excited to spend an afternoon on my porch enjoying the sunshine and a good book after work. I quickly rethought that plan when this was the first thing I saw, but thanks to Dad for buying us Home Defense and Travis spraying it around the house, it is a DEAD spider. I decided to press on and conquer. And I did.

Here is my wonderful set up. Minus the drink and book. Beauty.

I was relaxed and reading my book, enjoying the sunshine, when I loosened the cap on my drink. I enjoyed the fizzing sound it made. Noticing the sound didn't stop and was turning into more of a rustling in the bushes than a cold beverage, I looked past my feet and saw him. A large frog pleading for my help as he was clutched in the jaws of ....


(Can you see it?)

And there it is. A long snake.

The frog was staring me down for not helping him. It was a traumatic moment for me. Never a shovel when you need one. For the snake, not for the frog.

Here is the proof of how close I was. Yeah, I don't want to hear any jokes from Travis about how much of a sissy girl I am next time a spider shows up. When it comes to the big stuff, I'm tough!
