Spring turns to summer quick

Well Faithful, me & the Bride wish all of you a happy Bunny Day. Our warm winter and spring have turned into summer big time, expecting high 80's and the dreaded 90's shortly. 85 today. We went over to the camp yesterday for a crawfish boil the neighbors were putting on and man, them mudbugs were some head-sucking good, yeah.
Bride was planting some flowers in a bed we have by the dock and ran nose to nose with a huge water moccasin lurking in there. She kept her cool pretty, good, just slowly backed across the yard, well actually she was not too slow once she got a safe distance away, she ran for her life. Took two blasts with a 20 ga. crack barrel to dispach the monster. 6' and about 15#, middle about the size of your leg. Doubt there will be many more flowers planted in that bed this year....
Crawfish were good, the alligators are out stalking the blue herons, but the herons are way samarter than the gators. A good cat and mouse game to watch.
We came home today since we have the whole brood coming over for lunch tomorrow and needed to get ready for the mayhem.
All is well in Coonassland, and maybe AJ will grace the dock before too much longer.
