Love reading about pioneer women and all the courageous things they faced coming to the West. I can't imagine it. I think of the wagon trains while I walk.

Here in Texas, we call them critters :) So glad you were alert and didn't step on him! Right now, we have a Mallard nest in our front flower bed with 12 eggs! I am looking forward to seeing the babies waddle. Walking is my favorite way to exercise, too. It's the only thing that I seem to be able to stick with.Kakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147881066133817064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-57112339693937841922013-04-25T14:41:32.324-07:002013-04-25T14:41:32.324-07:00Great to see your photo's.

No snakes! Usually no problem, unless you step on one in the trail, or put your hand down on one while taking a break. Some dogs also get snake bites if they happen upon one in the shrubs and the snake strikes. Most hospitals carry anti-venom and the best place for treatment is in nearby Loma Linda.
