Last Friday I went on our front porch with the kids to water our many plants. Just as I leaned over a potted flower to reach my basil plants, I noticed a green head suspended in the air just below me. I thought at first that it must be one of the kids’ rubber snakes. But my kids don’t have a green rubber snake. Theirs are pink and purple. No, this was a real snake, right on our own front porch!

A Snake Visits Us

I would have been looking for a machete to whack his head off! Way too many green mambas in my day. I think our last count was 6 or 7. Green mambas were the vast majority of ours. Though we did have a black snake or two, and even had one in Jos.
What a great experience for the kids! I probably would have freaked out. Bravo for being so brave!
