Bloomin' Tuesday

It is Bloomin Tuesday again at MsGreen"thumb"Jean's blogspot. I have between 70 and 80 different daylilies and most of them are blooming. In fact, I have so much bloomin going on that that I will have to do several post to show them all. I have been making lots of pictures and I would like to mention something that happened last week while I was outside doing so. I was making pictures of my daylilies and most of the time I get inside the flower bed and hold the flower so I can get a good shot of it. That day was no exception, I had made my way around the large flower bed and before I could finish my battery died on my camera so I came inside and put the battery on the charger. My husband was mowing during this time and said after I went inside he decided to mow next to the flower bed I had been in. Just as he approached the bed he said a large snake came out of the flowers next to where I had been. He was able to run over it and kill it with the mower. He said he thought it was probably a chicken snake but after running over it he looked and it was a Copperhead. I AM VERY HAPPY MY BATTERY DIED. I have had so many close calls with snakes that some of my family members think I actually attract them. However, if you work outside very often, you are going to come in contact with snakes occasionally. It is a good idea to look around where you are working and be careful where you step. I must admit I fail to do this very often and you would think I would be VERY careful. Thank you for stopping by and please go by and visit Ms. Jean and see what she and other participants have bloomin in their gardens.
