Have you tried it yet? I had the opportunity to converse with a water moccasin last week. He was hanging out in the yard, because he had decided that the wood pile would be a great home for him. Since several of the dogs and cats had been a little too interested in him, I had to convince him to move on down the hill and find a new home in the wetland area below our house. He wasn’t happy about it, because as you may have heard, water moccasins are territorial, and he had trouble finding an unoccupied place to claim for his own. Unfortunately, he was adamant (he hung around for days) so I finally had to use the water hose to convince him that the woodpile and our yard were already claimed as well, and he’d have to take his chances with the other snakes already in residence. I checked in with him later in the day, and he wouldn’t answer, but now he has forgiven me, and shows that he didn’t have to go too far to find a nice niche under an uprooted tree stump.

I have not tried this yet! I love seeing what you get from all of the animals you encounter.

I’ll do my best to post more often! Recently, I’ve chatted with a tiny gecko I rescued from the pool. He was no more than an inch long, and he clung to my finger, refusing to get off when I tried to put him on the ground. He let me know that he needed to be near water he could get out of more easily, so I took him to the koi pond but cautioned him to stay hidden in the pond plants so he didn’t get snapped up. I hope he listened!

Aw sweet friend, have you seen your clinging buddy since then? Growing bigger & stronger?

I haven’t seen him. But I’ve noticed lately that the dragonflies are so friendly and attentive! All I have to do is walk outside and hold up my hand, and a dragonfly will light on my finger and sit there for as long as I have time to commune. We’ve had some great conversations these last few days. I’ve also been given a long list of instructions to pass along to whoever buys this house.
