One of Philip’s goals this summer was to catch a bull snake, and catch a bull snake he did. This was not one of those cuddly snakes, notice the gloves? This thing decided to strike at me as I was walking by. Yeah, umm, I didn’t handle this one. He found it outside of his…

Yes, I did shout that. It has been near or over 100 degrees for days. My green beans are burning up despite watering nearly ever day. It is just plain toooooo HOT. There has been one day in the last week that it hit 113. I have been able to get some beans from our…
