Out in the backwoods...

Well, here are a few beautiful pictures to warm your heart...

or curdle your blood...

This is what greeted me as I walked out my door yesterday afternoon right about dusk...

Thanks, Matt.

I'm trying to look on the bright side:

1. It's dead.

2. It wasn't actually alive in my yard.

3. It's dead.

The redneck measuring tape.

Justin: "I'm about 6' tall. Hold it up next to me. WAIT, not that close!! You sure it's dead??"

You'll notice that he's holding our child while they're doing all this...

Matthew and Justin arguing about what kind of snake it is. I think they settled on a chicken snake. As for me, I DON'T CARE!! A snake's a snake's a snake. Period.

The only thing good about this one is that it's DEAD.

And check out Hopper, our fearless canine.

Yep, he's about to run.
