Snakes

[Argie's Wife]

Is anyone else noticing an abundance of snakes this season?

I've been out with the dog several times today, and each time we've encountered at least three snakes - never the same one twice. I'm not afraid of snakes (but Argie is... heehee.) But we have a tiny lot of property- and two sides of it are bordered by a stream - one side is road front. There must be something that's good eatin' for them to be hanging out here...

Crossed up with one of these bad boys yesterday - it's just a water snake but man, they look nasty, don't they? He was about two and half feet long.
