What is it about this time of year that brings out the snakes!? I live in a wooded area, with nearby lakes and wetland. Nearly on a daily basis, I see a snake slithering across our road, or in my yard. Usually it’s when I’m walking through the yard unsuspectingly……and BAM, there’s a snake at my feet. Not gonna lie….it gives me the creeps. Oddly enough, it’s the little garter snakes that give me the willies, even more than big snakes. Not sure why. Especially odd considering that I used to play with those garter snakes when I was a kid. A college friend of mine had a 12 foot Burmese python. That thing never bothered me in any way. But that slithering little devil, garter snake……..ugh!

Anyone Can Do Anything.
In my last blog, I wrote about Autism Awareness Month and what it means. Today, I want to share a story that I read this morning that signifies how far people on the autism spectrum can go. A friend of mine lives in Northern Michigan and saw this post on a community Facebook forum. It […]
