There is a old bridge near the North property line at the farm. It is about a lane & a half wide & is built of stone with a few of the wooden planks still there. It spans a small creek. I like to walk up there & set & watch Mother Nature's animal show. Yesterday, while I was repairing the fence, I wandered over to relax a little. I heard or maybe cought movement in the grass about 6' to my right. There was a 4 or 6' rattler coiled up to strike. I stopped & stood very still, then jumped left & moved away on the quick! Reached for the P89 on my hip, only to realize that I had left it on the seat of the pick up. I went after the pistol & returned, but couldn't find Mr. Rattle Snake. This is the first time I've seen one of those out there. There are lots of Blace Snakes & some Copperheads though. Guess I'll go back & find that snake & get rid of him.
