OMG, I feel bad for both the snake and the baby birds! The snake has to eat, but I don't want those baby birds to get eaten!!! I am glad you guys chased the snake off, and you don't want to get bit by a gopher snake, talk about traumatized!!!

Sorry about the tumped-over saguaro, how sad...the winds out there are awful...well if it does die, you can at least get the saguaro ribs out of it, they make neat decorations...

LOVE all the free stuff, amazing!!! And the dress and lace top you got, adorable! You are so petite Shirley that it looks like DOLL CLOTHES!!!

BRRRR - I'd be quaking. We have gopher snakes here too. When you see one it still takes a moment to realize whether its that or a rattler...

How AWESOME you got pics - your posts are always filled with interesting bits! Wonderful buys - these things will keep you busy ALL WEEK!

Hope you have a good day and I'll be looking forward to see if your cactus will reroot!
