No sense making her too afraid. This weekend my parents went rafting with some friends, and they saw TWO rattlesnakes--one of which was only a few feet away from my cousin's tent. I love to raft, and it would be interesting to see another rattler (it's been a while), but that would have freaked me out a bit. Glad you kept it to yourself. No sense making her too afraid.

I try so hard not to scream and panic when I see a spider if one of my girls is around. My husband is adamant about not wanting them to grow up terrified of the creepy-crawly things, and it sounds like a worthy goal. But I hate bugs. I hate them. Snakes bother me less, thankfully. But I feel your pain. Laugh it off. ps. I like the new site! The circus masthead is lovely. Oh man! I try so hard not to scream and panic when I see a spider if one of my girls is around.

And clearly I shoud have. The reason that our grass is kept short? Tall grass hides the snakes. Nothing like walking barefoot holding six popsicles and a glass of iced tea and stepping 1.2 inches from a slitherer. Hilarious. :) Our neighbors have a cat or two and we've never had a mouse. I refuse to give the snakes any credit for this. ack! okay, I WAS going to comment on the pictures of the tall grass but never did. And clearly I shoud have. The reason that our grass is kept short?
