    Sorry Darla. :)

    MS, she's the rock star of The Girlz.

    Shamy, she's just a little spoiled. lol

    Yep, a black racer. I think this one was a female. Pretty slender body throughout.

    That's a good-sized snake there in your garden. Love the pic of the blanket flower patch. They take such great photos.

    Dani,
    Love the photos! Even the snake. I have one in my yard too, and since they do a good job of keeping the pests down, I decided to name him (or her) Earl. Earl keeps me on my toes when I garden, and I do the same for him/her (were he/she to actually have toes). I am in love with the chick. I don't know much about chickens, but I imagine that that one has a lot of personality!

    -Ken

    The Boy brought one this size in the living room a few weeks ago. I'm not afraid of snakes but seriously I wish he'd keep them outside.

    Dani what are the flowers under Shammy's photo? I need something invasive and they are pretty.And where to buy in St. Pete?

    SPP, they're pretty blanket flower. I see them come through the box stores every so often. Best bet would be a native plant nursery.
