You&#8217;ll just have to imagine it.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of weeks ago my mom and I were out shopping and I returned her home at about 4:00 PM.?? Instead of getting out with the kids (it was soooo hot), I just dropped off her off and drove home.?? She called me when I got in the door and told me she was so glad that the kids and I didn&#8217;t come in because there was a HUGE diamondback rattler baking in the sun on her porch right outside the door!?? Ty would likely have encountered it as he would have been in a mad dash to get in the house and see Papa first.?? I always have heard that you don&#8217;t have to worry about rattlesnakes in AZ during the summer.?? WRONG!?? And this one was out during the HOTTEST time of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Last week I drove over to their house at about 6:00 PM.?? This time of year, it is no where near sun down at 6:00.?? It was just Tori and I.?? When I pulled up in the driveway I was wishing I had my camera.?? I called Dad on his cell phone and told him that I was NOT going to get out of my car until he came out and removed the FIVE javelina from his backyard and porch!?? FIVE!!!!?? In the full light of day!?? What is going on over there??? The cat and the dog were just sittin&#8217; there doing nothing too.?? Dad shot one of the javelina&#8217;s twice with blunt arrows before it even considered moving.?? I guess he chases them off the lawn everyday but it was the first time I almost had a close encounter during DAYLIGHT!??
