On being
a farm wife
-And other
hazards
Joyce Bupp
What a blessed ram that was last
week! And timely, too.. With
alfalfa seedlings gasping for
breath, and corn just waiting in the
desert-dry upper soil for the
starting gun of moisture, it was
truly a perfect piece of weather.
Weathermen would explain that
it had something to do with low
pressure systems ahead of a cold
front, and moisture gathered by
the system and brought in from the
ocean.
In this neighborhood we know
better.
That fantastic ram was
generated by a bit of hocus-pocus
from Aunt Mabel.
When we stopped by Aunt
Mabel’s recently while moving
planting equipment, she was
headed down around the pond to
retrieve the remnants of a
watersnake spotted while mowing
grass.
Purpose wasn’t just to dispose of
the deceased reptile’s remains, but
to hang it in a tree.
Hang it in a tree?
Yep. Seems that hanging a dead
snake in a tree will bring on ram.
Why? No one seemed to know
why. But it seems there’s this old
time claim that it would work.
With soil conditions drier than a
Death Valley rock, and dust
hanging like thick fog wherever
any farmer tried to work a piece of
ground, who were we to argue.
All we wanted - all we
desperately needed - was water.
From wherever.
Needless to say, as the welcome

downpour was pounding on the tin
roof a couple of days later, a phone
call came from Uncle Clyde, just
checking to see if we were happy
with the weather.
I told him to thank Aunt Mabel.
And he backed up her results with
a further story.
Seems the couple was visiting on
Eastern Shore some tune ago,
when similar drought conditions
were withering tempers and farm
crops.
A local farmer with whom they
were staying lamented the par
ched weather and just how badly
the area needed rain.
Driving through a wooded
section a bit later, the couple
spotted on the road the carcass of a
snake that had been run over by an
automobile. Aunt Mabel retrieved
it and hung it in a tree nearby.
Returning to their host, they
assured the farmer he could count
on ram in just a little while.
By Monday evening, it started to
rain. And it rained again on
Tuesday. On Wednesday. And yet
again on Thursday.
By Friday, the farmer host was
warning his guest that she’d better
truck on out to that tree and
remove the snake so it would dry
off a bit.
No one - but no one - can
enlighten us on where this snake
tale superstition began.
Anyone out there have any idea?
Whatever. If it works, I say hang
onto that snake Aunt Mabel. And
hang it up about once a week for
the rest of the summer.
