Yum yum! Blueberry and strawberry pancake breakfast.

I almost died from shock today. My son and I went to a flea market with my dad. We were walking around and nothing was really catching my eye...personally, I think there is just mostly junk at those places, but every once in awhile you can find something cool. Then something shiny caught my eye on a table cluttered with all sorts of miscellaneous stuff...it was a copper mold, and I collect them. I glanced at the pattern and it's not one that I have, so I reached out to pick it up and it didn't lift up. I was struggling a bit with it and looking to see what it was hung up on. Suddenly something was moving underneath it, and I was startled and dropped it. I looked closer and saw the markings of a snake. My brain was not quite registering it, and then I thought it was a fake snake that moved while I was trying to loosen the mold. I sort of chuckled inside at being startled and was thinking about reaching for it to pick up and show everyone the fake snake...then it moved again. I told the people running the booth that they had a snake on their table. The woman was upset, but the man thought it was cool. People started gathering around and he got a glove and grabbed it. Someone said it was a king snake and another person said a pine snake. From what I could find on the internet, I'm thinking pine snake because it had a small head compared to a large body. I still can't believe how close my fingers were to it's mouth when I reached underneath the mold and was struggling to get it free. I could have so easily been bitten, as he wasn't happy when the mold was removed, and he was coiled up and made a couple small strikes when the guy went to reach for him. This is similar to what it looked like in markings and size:

Oh good grief. They say we do have some snakes in Ohio but I've never seen anything but what they call a gardner snake here. Ick.

Mornin' All!

Yeah, my mug is about that size. It's fun to claim I only drink a cup a day when it holds half a pot.

Mornin' Everybody, and appropriate holiday greetings.
Easter is kina inbetween for me, the vernal equinox having been celebrated a month ago and Beltane not for another week and a half. But the wheel turns for all of us and the long awaited Spring and Summer will come. ..and pass away again in their turns.

>> The modern belief that eggs are delivered by a rabbit, comes from the legend of the Goddess Eostre. Eostre was walking one fine Spring day and came upon a beautiful little bird. The poor bird’s wing was badly injured and Eostre, feeling great compassion for the little creature, wanted to heal it. But the little bird’ wing was so badly damaged that Eostre knew it would never be able to fly again even after She healed it. So, Eostre decided to help the bird by healing it in a way that would give it mobility and a little something more? She turned it into a rabbit!

During the transformation, the rabbit retained the ability to lay eggs. The rabbit was so grateful to Eostre for saving its life that it laid a sacred egg in Her honor, joyously decorated it and then humbly presented it to the Goddess. She was so pleased and so touched by the rabbit&#8217;s thoughtful gift that She wished all humankind to share in her joy. In honoring her wishes, the rabbit went all over the world distributing these beautifully decorated little gifts of life and continues to do so even today. << -- How the Easter Egg Came to Be

Another beautiful day starting here. It's already 37 degrees and bound to get warmer. I'm looking forward to running the hose to my water tanks. Hauling an average of 40 gallons a day in five gallon buckets is getting old. At least the ice on the steps has melted. The snow and ice never got really bad here this winter, so it seems to be melting faster than usual.
I need to start hauling my construction materials up to the property. The floor sheathing alone will weigh almost two tons. I'm trying to get it stacked in the order we'll use it. I'll try posting photos of our progress. The grand daughters will be learning about frame construction on their summer vacation.

Appropriate holiday greetings to you as well.

I have normal size because the coffee gets cold too fast but I buy them a Pier One. They have so many pretty styles that go with their whole place settings but you can just buy them separately.

I drink my coffee from hot to cold, so mug size doesn't matter to me.
