I know it's spring now....
Mar. 25th, 2008 06:51 pm...because I almost stepped on a snake today at the park.
Did the normal walking/jogging thing, stopped to help a reporter-girl find the pad from which the girl scout's statue had been stolen*, admired the new rugby field (complete with bleachers and all), saw deer-prints on the lacrosse field, took the truck path (shortcut) over the hill and almost squashed on the little critter as it crossed the path in front of me. Jumped back in time. It was probably no more than a foot long, most likely a checkered garter snake.
A snake-sighting makes spring official.
*Yes, some moron stole the 400lb life-size bronze statue of a girl scout from the park. Police have it back already.
