This is my bit of a blog. Rambling words about rambling days. No focus and nothing ambitious. I seem to write most about local color, nature, and animals, and there is an incomplete chunk about my road trips of 2011.

Gutter Snake
Our gutters were so neglected that, on the south side, beneath leaves and needles, they were a third full with actual soil and forming tightly netted, grassy turf in parts. I found two long snake skins along their length. One about thirty inches and one about 42. The shorter one slightly grown through with grass. As if the same snake had been so well pleased with the safety and amenities of our gutter that it returned for a subsequent molt.
