Things I Do Not Want To Forget

Things I Do Not Want To Forget

This past year I had some interesting injuries.  I was stung 13 times by yellow jackets while working in my garden.  I had absolutely no swelling.  It hurt when they stung me, I did not yell or scream or panic. I just quickly went into my home where one followed me and stung me on the hand.  All the effects of the stings were gone by the next day.  Though there was some itching for a very short time.

I burned myself while I was cooking.  I had a pretty bad burn on my hand.  I went to church with a bandage on my hand.  I told them about my week, about the bees and the burn on my hand.  There were some other things but I didn't talk about them.  I'm sure that they prayed for me.  I felt that my hand healed quicker than normal.  The bee stings were unusual only because they did not affect me.

Another injury that happened to my hand.  A heavy tote fell from the top of other totes while I was looking for something.  It hit my hand hard and left a cut across the little bones on the top of my right hand.  I was afraid my hand would be bruised very badly. I prayed and asked the Lord not to let my hand bruise and that it wouldn't do any damage to my hand.  My hand healed quicker than normal again.  It healed within a week and the wound was even gone.  It didn't even leave a scar.

A Discovery In My Garden

I took this picture a few years ago.

A Discovery In My Garden

I thought of something yesterday I believe to be highly unusual.  This is something that happened months ago.  I was working out in my yard.  I walked over to the south side of my home to do something.  I picked up an empty pot and underneath was what I believed to be a pile of earthworms. 

It looked as though someone had emptied out a container of worms into a pile.  I'm still not sure if they were worms or snakes. 

A few days later I saw something that looked like a worm but the weather was hot and the ground was dry.  I noticed it moved more like a snake over the ground.  Then I immediately thought of the pile of worms I saw just a few days before.

Then again this past month or so I saw a baby guarder snake about eight to twelve inches long.  I've

seen guarder snakes in my yard on occasion throughout the years of living here.  It was the first time, however, that I saw a baby one.  So now I'm wondering if I have fifty baby guarder snakes in my yard.

I learned something about guarder snakes because of the discovery.  The eggs of the guarder snake hatch on the inside of the mother before she gives birth to them.  So I'm thinking I discovered them just after their birth.

I guess I will know more about it when spring and summer are here again.  Maybe there will be more to tell.
