Good morning!!!!

Good morning! 65 partly cloudy.
Last night was a bad night for Whipper. She noticed a snake slithering across the compass rose and got very upset. My spotlight's battery was dead so I could not help her as she chased it away. I was able to do a zoom picture and during the flash I saw it was a poisonous copperhead. Apparently she got bit because this morning she is no longer a skinny faced pointer but a fat faced lab. Besides a swollen snout she seems active and feeling ok. The picture turned out blurry but good enough to identify the snake.

I miss the fields of Bluebonnets Jim, but mom always stops to take pictures and send them to me. :)
Today is the start of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival and it's a beautiful site to behold.

Just like my tulip garden. . . NOT! That's gorgeous, Larry. I'm still waiting on the rain the weatherman promised. It's 53 F here this morning and overcast, but not a drop of rain has fallen overnight. My ponds and lake are very low. I'm posting some photos in the Texas Spring/Summer thread. I'll come back here and edit in a link after I post.

Link to photos.

Poor Whipper! Do your dogs learn to not mess with snakes, or is like dogs and porcupines here--I'll get that sucker the next time. :p

64 here, but like Jinman, no rain. Began thundering about midnight, so I was hopeful, but it doesn't even look like rain this morning.

Can we lynch the weatherman, for pulling a joke on us?

Well this is the third time she has turned into a fat faced lab, so either she does not care or she has a verrrry long learning curve.

Weather changes today from lots of sun and warmth to cloudy and chance of showers with a high of 14C/57F. Past couple of days there were a number of cities and towns in British Columbia that set high temperature records for the day, including a city about 35 minute drive away. Cut the lawn yesterday for the second time and got my 80 meat chickens. Our 40 yards of cedar shaving arrived, this will last us the year.
