So for quite some time now I have been a firm believer in the power of positive thought. I have actually used it successfully to acquire things. I have been using my powers to try to bring a new snake into my life lately. And, yesterday it finally happened. But not like I thought it would. I came home from work yesterday and went down to the basement to throw some wood in the woodstove and there he was. Curled up in front of the stove, warming up. A baby garter snake!!!! I still can't believe it. Somehow in the middle of a harsh New England winter, in the middle of a snow storm, a baby garter snake comes out of hibernation and finds it's way into my finished basement to curl up in front of my woodstove and wait for me to get home from work!!!! I was trying for an albino male BP, but hey I'll take it. Oh well... back to the drawing board.
