Lurker three here. Was Lucy full grown when you took her in? Is she the same kind of snake that has become problematic in parts of Florida? Any baby pictures?
I hope I am correct in recalling that you enjoy fine garlic? Just made some split pea soup infused with two heads of Chesnok Red. Such a deep rich flavor.
It is early for a hurricane will be watching for it to start being talked about way up here along with the polar vortex, dip in the jet stream and el nino should keep the weather guessers busy
I'm sojourning here for the duration and enjoying the ambiance!
