Dear Children,
On Friday I climbed my first real mountain on this journey. Near the top I found this Black Snake right along side the road. At first I thought it was a strip of tire, but then I noticed the small head with a tiny eye watching me attentively. I walked across to the other side to let the snake have its space. Later I learned that while this snake is not poisonous it can be somewhat aggressive and it's better not to bother it.
This is what I saw at the top of the mountain. I think you will find the story interesting.
I really liked this statue in the city of Abingdon - I think it's a statue of the fairy named Ariel.
And here are cattails in a meadow beside the road.
Next time I write to you I will make another suggestion for your summer.
Love, Nana Greta
That statue is very pretty. I think the Draper Valley story was great!

oh gosh, while i'm not considered a "child" anymore, i'd still freak out if i saw a snake. they're my worst fear.
ReplyDeleteYikes! I don't like snakes either. They remind me to much of Lord Voldemort from Harry Potter.
ReplyDeleteHello my friends,
ReplyDeleteYes, snakes can be pretty scary, and I think the fear is built into us to help keep us safe. But snakes are also beautiful and fascinating, and I consider it a privilege to see one in its natural habitat. We city people need to be as careful to avoid snakes as we are to avoid getting run over when we cross a street - we look both ways.
Love, Nana Greta
