Swimming with Snakes

Yes, it is true. Today my three beautiful daughters have been swimming with snakes. At least there was one snake in the springs where they were. "Just a little moccasin," my mom told me on the phone after Nature Girl had described how they had seen it twice. Twice!! According to Meme, other people chased it down the run toward the river, then they saw it again in a few minutes. Others again chased it and the little poisonous viper disappeared into a thicket near the spring, never to be seen again.

The really amazing thing is this: the girls swam again after they saw the snake AND they had a good time, too! I am completely irrational when it comes to snakes. If they are alive and in my presence then one of those two facts must change, and really quickly, too. But here are my little city girls, swimming with the snakes anyway, and evidently having a blast!

What a trip to Poppa's house they are having!
