!Farm Update!
So I was beginning to think that we were going to spend three months on this farm and never actually see a brown snake..alive..
Well, today we had a brown snake encounter. Here's how it went.
Cam and I were cleaning the siding of the house in the backyard while Hailey (Ian's 17 year old daughter) was mowing the lawn on one of those large tractor like mowers. At one point she stopped, turned to me and said, "Steph, steph, can you quickly run into the house for me…" her eyes were big and I could tell something was up. Then she said, "Nevermind, stay here". At this point I already knew what she was talking about, I could see the brown snake (about 3 metres long), slithering across the grass maybe, 15 feet from us. She said, "don't move, keep an eye on it, watch where it goes", and ran inside. ( I was freakin' out) 30 seconds later she appears again, loading a rifle. I was like..no way, this chick is crazyyy she's gonna try and shoot the thing.
The snake continues to slither along and Hailey aims the rifle and shoots him once ..(snake guts fly into the bush..) then shoots him again, just before it could hide in the bush. WTF!! The whole time Cam and I were just frozen, watching and thinking, OMG did that just happen?
Haha It was awesome, Hailey had the biggest smile on her face as she said after "I didn't think I'd get him! I never hit the target, but this time I did, twice!" We laughed as Ian came casually walking into the yard to see what all the noise was about.
What an event. A sight I will never forget.. JEEEZ!
Now to the creative bit,
Last night I watched the Classic, "Breakfast At Tiffany's" and thoroughly enjoyed it..I'd seen it before and just love Audrey Hepburn in the film. Her character, Holly Golightly, is so scattered and a little looney yet smart and beautiful and so hilarious.
If you haven't seen it.. do. Such a Classic.
Here's a doodle and some of my favorite quotes and moments from zee movie!
Enjoy!
Until Tomorrow xo
