This was NOT the kind of visitor I was hoping for.
I’m telling myself someone put it there yesterday while I wasn’t around.
And that it didn’t slither in through one of the 14 million holes in the cabin walls and leave its calling card. It makes me feel better to think that.
However I am immediately throwing a wish out there in the universe that some generous persons will soon feel compelled to pay to repair the chinking in the cabin at Billie Creek.
The cabin needs a fairy godmother or a sugar daddy.
Er, wait. Are snakes attracted to sugar?
One thing is for sure. I’ll never go into the potting shed or the outhouse.
Never.
Nope.
Not me.
Not now.

We had a snake skin or two very near our house last summer but have not seen any this year. They make me cringe!
I'm with you sister! Don't like snakes in any way, shape, or form!
I've only seen one of those in real life.
Aren't you glad we don't have to do that periodically :-) Can't be very comfy.
That outhouse doesn't look very stable...
Or is it the potting shed?
No way.
That's the outhouse that is falling over.
That looks like one LOOONG snake skin, sister! Yikes!
I hope you left the snakeskin there. Gives the place that lived-in feeling, although I can't tell what type of snake it was. It's gotta be good luck in somebody's culture. Also, you did a beautiful job in putting that loom together. If I was anywhere near Indiana, I'd offer to help with the loom in the village, even though I'd have no clue what I was doing. Mom always said I did everything the hard way. Is there something wrong with us? Or is it everybody else?
Gotta be a black snake.. we have one in our chicken house right now, but I think he's too big to skinny into Teeny's cage for the babies. They are GOOD... they kill vermin!
I wouldnt want to run into that big snake... they just freak me out.
Was that inside the cabin? Glad it wasn't there Friday! Did you finish the loom? You should have called me. I'd have come and helped.
Oh yuck! I wouldn't go in that cabin ever again!!
When we were repairing a plaster wall in our old 1770 New Hampshire house, I found some interesting material. Calling to my husband, "Oh look, they used some weird stuff for insulation in those days," I was carefully pulling it out when I realized it was a SNAKESKIN! There were a lot of them in that wall. Yikes!
I love Wendy's comment above that you should leave the skin to give the place that lived-in feeling. LOL!
I'd be having nightmares if I found that skin.
heeheehee - the things you get yourself into... ;-D
