Today I planned to paint all day, and was moving right along at a nice clip. Then, lunchtime came and I headed back to the house, and there was a rattle snake on my front porch. It is a long and boring story that eventually ended poorly for the snake but well for me. I am a pathetic excuse for an outdoor woman, and once again had to call the Very Capable S to rescue me. She can do almost anything! The long and short of it is this: my painting got the short end of the stick today, and the length of the snake was 4′ with 10-1/2 buttons on its rattle. Hard to paint when my hand is trembling. I have to go lie down now. No photos – it was too gross for this little sissy. (Dad’s word was “panty-waist”) On days like that, chocolate helps.

Hey Jana —- As you know I grew up in Africa – I’m a big baby when it comes to snakes and spiders – and should be dead by now with all the times I’ve picked up a snake or stood on one by accident! It is freaky. Chocolate is good!
I like your two new paintings – your paintings give me a little escape from the hot desert I live in!
