The third phase of the day
long activities will be a
birthday party for forest fire
crew members and their
guests, in the Ward Room at
The Fort Holbrook Fire
Base, later in the evening.
A “welcome rug” rests
inside our front door. Its
name is “Benedict Arnold,”
because it turned traitor on
me.
Once striped in assorted
bright colors, the fading and
tattered relic greets the
muddied, wet feet of far
mers, children, visitors and
the occasional cat that
sneaks into the house.*
During blustery Winter
nights, I shove the rug
against the crack below the
door to fend off feet-chilling
drafts. Rich uses it for
pretend fields when planting
imaginary farms with his
toy machinery.
That rug had always been
considered a faithful
household fnend and helper.
I picked it up one af
ternoon last week to shake
and straighten it. From
beneath its cushiony softness
slithered a snake.
ASNAKE!
From my lips escaped a
squeal that would’ve done
justice to a sow calling her
litter. And as I dove into the
closet for a broom, all ten
Stihl chain saws last longer and hold up
better than any other saws made, and
that in itself is a bargain' But nght now,

door.
Shoving the door open, I
watched the giant reptile
wiggle onto the cement
porch and take refuge under
a broken cinder block that
happened to be there.
Hoping this character was
just the harmless milk snake
I though it was - and not a
dangerous copperhead
which it very much
resembles - I left Patty
keeping an eye on the little
friend and scouted up a
bucket.
We maneuvered Mr.
Snake (or was it Mrs. - we
forgot to look) into the
bucket and carried him to
the field. To our delight, and
obviously to his relief as
well, he promptly disap
peared.
As we turned to leave the
field, I fell into a groundhog
hole.
Do you suppose they make
“unwelcome rugs,” just in
case our guest was the
frontrunner for a family
reunion?
