dabhugA couple of weeks ago, J called me out to look at something in the yard. Turns out it was a snake, skittering across the front yard. We got close enough to look at him and he looked like this:
And after I got over myself and realized he wasn't poisonous, I went inside to get my trusty North American Wildlife Book. Turns out its a type of King Snake, one that eats other snakes, mice and bugs. A good snake, if y ou're so inclined.
We left him to go on his way, checking every so often to make sure he was actually, you know, making way. And that's when I saw him curling up in the tire of the Jimmy.
Danger, Will Robinson! TILT! Unacceptable!
With a little prodding from J (what? You think I"MA MESS WITH A SNAKE? I don't really care if he's poisonous or not, snakes put the heebie in my jeebie) he decided to continue on his way. He really did just want to stay out of our way (Just passin' through, ma'am). We sat on the front porch watching his progress. As he progressed through the neighbor's property, he raised quite a ruckus with the local bluejay population. Eventually, he shuffled through there and I can only hope he made it to his destination unharmed.
