Proud moments

I just wanted to share, this requires backstory. Between 2005-2008 I lived with my husband and tiny children I a little mobile home in an acre, which was owned by my in-laws and they let us live there for cheap because we were young and broke and they were nice. We had a big garden and at the back was a wood lot which was owned by the neighbors. I built a snake pit for the garter snakes near the back of the property. But before I got to see if the snakes used the pit, we ended up moving. My in-laws kept the property. I forgot about the snake pit. Father in law found it when he was mowing the grass and ran into the pallet I’d put on to. He called my husband ranting, “why the heck is there a pot of snakes?” I was proud. In-laws kept the property all this time, rented it out to some other people. In December, two of my kids, now young adults, moved in. One texted me this morning to let me know that the snake population is still doing very well. My heart swelled with so much pride and joy. Then my younger one texted to ask for advice on starting seeds. Made my day.

Neat story!
