Garter Snakes in the grass

I tried to take a picture, but it slid away.

Sadie and Violet are making mud pies in my mother's back yard and I am mobile blogging. Kim is enjoying some well deserved alone time. Birds are singing and bees are buzzing. Life is good.

My uncle Karl died at the age of fifty one. I am driving Joshua and my mother to the wake and funeral in Illinois this coming Sunday. Life is too short to not appreciate those around you.
