A terrible beauty

 

A very dead snake by the side of the street, a few blocks from our house. Of the harmless variety but still gives quite a jolt on a peaceful evening stroll.

It was actually holding its head up, like some creepy taxidermy. The natural wonders of Twisp never cease.

Here's something more civilized. Roma tomatoes I picked yesterday from one potted plant. I bought the antique, made-in-Japan bowl for $2 at our wonderful Methow Valley Senior Center Thrift Shop. 

Yes, I'm home and getting back into the swing of things. Always an adjustment on each end.
