We’re back in Florida, for a long weekend (and my birthday ๐ )
Earlier, I opened the pool filter cover and lifted out the thermometer to see how warm the pool was (it was 90f) – and off leapt a small snake, back in to the pool!
He happily swam away across the pool, keeping well away from me and my “rescue” attempts.
I got the pool net, and fished it out – but back in it went! Fished out again, and rushed to get it outside the lanai so it couldn’t rejoin the pool (even if it likes it, we don’t want to risk hurting it when we go in the water!)

It stayed for a while, perhaps in shock, or waiting for us to stop watching … then suddenly it wasn’t there any more; hopefully it’ll find somewhere else nice to live!
Well, that was quite the birthday surprise.
Hope otherwise you had a great day at Disney.
Happy Birthday!!! and many more.
Did you get Earle’s birthday wish phone call?
P.S. Did you wear a rain poncho to ride Splash Mountain?
Yes, thanks … got Earle’s call and your wishes ๐
No poncho – but I didn’t get very wet, and dried quickly in the warm weather … but Margaret did get wetter than me!
