You've Got Paranoia

My sister used to go around singing that song - it's been in my head a lot lately, because we are all getting pretty paranoid at my house...

Last week, when Jenny and I went on our shopping spree - we ran into our back-yard neighbor at his place of work (the craft store,) and he told us that he and his family had seen a big snake go from their yard into the space between our fences.

I came right home and told hubby, because the poor man totally freaks if he sees a snake, so I didn't want it to surprise him.
(So many bad experiences with rattlers when he worked on the family ranch.)

His first comment was - "Sorry, we're going to have to move."

When I came home from work the other night, and the lawn had been mowed - I was really surprised - until I heard how he did it - one hand on the mower, pushing it down the hill, while brandishing a shovel in the other.

I talked to the neighbor boys' mom at choir practice on Sunday, and she told me that they thought it might be someone's pet python.

My eyes got HUGE, and I said: "It's that big?"
Unfortunately, she nodded in the affirmative.

We may have to move.

Jenny heard squeaking noises outside her window last night - and thinks it was out there chowing down on a mouse.

She took me out back today, and showed me what she thinks is a snake trail in the grass. Ho-leeee crap! If she's right, that thing is as big around as my ankle!

All planned use of the back yard is off until somebody finds that thing.

Changing the subject...
I've been into watching videos lately - this one posted by Blissfactory was really fun to watch - enjoy!
