EEEEKK!!!

Here is my tale. Last week, hubby came in and said he saw a snake in the garden. He figured it was about 2 feet long and was a harmless garden snake. I don't like snakes and although I believed him, I was hoping he was stretching the truth a little.

Saturday he and D5 were working in the garden picking peas. They brought the bowl in to show me what they had picked and in the bowl was a snake skin, a very large snake skin. Hubby said they saw the snake again, it was indeed at least 2 feet long and that it had recently shed its skin because here was the old one.

Now not to sound like a total paranoid girly girl here, but I told hubby either the snake stayed or I did but the two of us could not live anywhere near each other. I guess he must love me because a little white later there was a knock on the back door and the Snake was in a bucket.

If you don't believe my tale, her are a couple of photos of D5 holding a now headless snake.






It is almost as long as she is! Now I am just wondering if there are baby snakes out there waiting to seek their revenge. I might have to stay inside.
