Our first snake



So, lots of people here have had their encounters with snakes in their yards...well we had our first one on Saturday!! Poor Sarah goes to take Liam out back while I was finishing up dinner. She barely get's out the back door and comes running back in, slams the door and starts screaming and crying..."Snake, snake, there's a snake out back" Thankfully we have lots of windows looking out back, cause I wasn't about to go out:) I was a little relieved to see that it was a baby snake and not some big one, but still, it's a snake just the same. Good thing Bill was here and that he's brave and not that afraid of snakes. He tried pushing it off the patio with a shovel and that little snake was fiesty. It kept coiling up and striking the shovel. So Bill got it into the grass and chopped the head off...nice, huh? But then, he picks up the body to show all of us...sooo gross!! So here's our snake pictures and I promise Mom, no more insect, bug, or creature pictures;D

I hate snakes - EW!!!! Luckily so far none in our yard - I'm sure it is just a matter of time.

REason # 257 why you are leaving alabama. If it were I, I would be long gone. Where there is a baby there is sure to be a momma:(:( or pappa or brothers and sisters..UGH!@#$$%% Tell poor Sar she will soon be at Nana's house no snakes.

I ran over one just like that on the walking trail a couple of weeks ago. He was blending into the asphalt really well so I didn't notice him until the stroller's wheels ran over him and he moved. This blog stuff is addicting, isn't it?
