Snikes!

Knowing I hate snakes, (or, as the Steve Erwin would say, “Oy hite snikes), Maria just emailed me this link http://www.snakesofarkansas.com/Main/Snake which goes to a web page titled “Snakes of Arkansas.”
I was impressed to learn there are 28 varieties of snakes to be found in the area where we now make our home, including four venomous snakes of the pitviper family.
