I had my latest snake adventure just this morning. I did a little forging early this morning, but it got hot here early in the day.
So, I decided to pick blackberries instead.

I climbed the high hill to where the berries were and began filling my bucket.
I was picking berries and daydreaming of cobblers and such things, when I happened to look down and saw a rather large copperhead glide silently into the heart of the blackberry bushes.

Evidently, he had been within a foot of where I was standing. Lucky for me he was not in the mood for biting.

At first I kinda thought this was a "bad luck day", but no, this was a "GOOD LUCK DAY!"
