Well...

 to stress out Matt and Mike more this snake skin was found hanging in a tree by the pool!

 It's quite long.  Of course my kids touched it and left it out for Uncle Mike to see when he came home.  Ana got to stay up a little late to see his reaction.

The other day on the farm Lexington (niece number 1) and I picked three cups of black raspberries in the neighbor's thicket.  We had quite the adventure climbing over fences and getting through some major thorn bushes.  The result--this lovely pie.  (7 cups of berries in it!!)
