Snaaakes

Published by Carter at 8:37 pm under Personal

I know I’ve been posting alot about Snakes on a Plane, but this time it’s actually about snakes-in my yard!

It was time to mow the yard so I started with the backyard. Started up the mower, cut a small section of grass, then paused to grab a tennis ball on lawn. As I moved toward the tennis ball, something started moving in the grass; once the it made it to the recent cut part of the grass I saw a small garden snake (probably 16-inches long) winding it’s way under our deck.

After finishing the backyard, I pulled the mower to the front yard. I always try to clean up the large branches and twigs that have fallen from the oak trees before mowing. As I was picking up stick, I almost picked up a snake by mistake, but it slithered in the ivy.

Now I didn’t think I’d be afraid of snakes (especially small garden snakes), but I seeing these snakes in my yard had my heart beating a little faster.

On the good side, I now know why there are less bugs in around house.
