Odds & ends

Last week we wrapped up with the middle school band concert.

It was great to see (and hear) how much they have grown since December.  

It was a wonderful concert & our guy on the sax rocked it (and some highwater's).

 Since then we had a soggy weekend that rained us out of most of our yard work, and a baseball game.  Now we are on the last full week of school.  Wrapping things up & trying to finish the school year strong.
Today we had some glorious sunshine, so after work I tied up my shoes & hit the greenway for a run.
It was quiet, and shaded as I ran along the lake.
At one point near my turn around I came out of some heavily shaded area with lots of cracked pavement into the sun & came inches from stepping on this big fella....

I could tell as my foot went inches from it's head that it was a black snake (whew!), but that still didn't stop me from squealing like a girl and doing some funky half hurdle jump.
Guess I wasn't the only one trying to enjoy the nice weather.
