In Texas they have those very deadly but very beautiful coral snakes and a little jingle to remember whether it's a coral or a something else quite harmless. I just avoided 'em all. Can you tell? Snakes are NOT my favorite people?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284741361085706669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7289593577239899244.post-21735978006204661322009-10-17T00:37:16.169-04:002009-10-17T00:37:16.169-04:00I grew up with scores of garter snakes in the gras...I grew up with scores of garter snakes in the grass, in the gardens, on the roads and in the ditches.<br /><br />I stayed clear of them, but had many close views from above, while riding my horse.<br /><br />Years later, I had the most fun incorporating handmade, clay snakes on my husband's wheel-thrown, clay plates. Then, Jim's carefully formulated glazes took over. It was a clever love affair!Wendy McNallyhttp://www.longbowgames.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7289593577239899244.post-18418029675955665442009-10-17T00:23:46.521-04:002009-10-17T00:23:46.521-04:00My brother, the bachelor, has a severe fear of sna...My brother, the bachelor, has a severe fear of snakes.
