Totally shocking and warm today. No rain and no clouds. I talked hubby into going for a drive. He wore his coat and sweater but soon shed his coat. He gets cold so easily now.
On the way to the state park I stopped and bought us some snacky picnic food. Mandarin orange cups, cheesy bread rolls, white sharp cheddar slices. Even found a pack of peanut butter sandwich cookies- like Oreos but peanut butter. Hubby wanted to be sure to have something to share with Rufus.
The photo shows where we went on a little walk. We found a resident that Rufus wanted to play with. A Garter snake. I told Rufus that Mr. Snake was not in the playing mood. I am not afraid of snakes. They have their place on our planet. Garter snakes are harmless to humans.
Back home, hubby went up for a nap but got up later and worked on moving the cement blocks in by the outdoor swing. He is trying to do a little something every day instead of just sitting in a chair and feeling cold and sleepy.

I hope you all enjoyed the outing. Even Mr Snake.
I don't care for snakes, even if they are harmless. They're still snakes.

@jstory07 No, they really aren't slimy but I'd prefer not to handle them anyway.

@Laurakemunto I won't go around picking them up... although I have carried around a python in a zoo exhibit before.

It is nice to go for a walk when the weather is getting better.

What a cute picture of Rufus pup. I'm glad that Mr. Snake was unharmed. Non-venemous snakes are good for the environment. I'm glad hubby is making an effort to do a couple of things. That way his muscles won't atrophy.
