Close Encounter

Scottie came inside this morning and told me not to come outside for a while. Like a child, this immediately sparked my interest and made me want to come outside even more to see what was going on. A good reason for caution and concern, Scottie stumbled upon a snake.



Not knowing whether or not the snake was poisonous was not a primary concern. Scottie went to the garage, got an ax, and finished the snake off.



A gentleman from the road must have seen Scottie swinging his ax next to our house and walked up to see what was happening. He informed us that the snake was most likely a gopher snake, a nonpoisonous snake that kills rattle snakes. Oops!



So, that was our excitement for Sunday morning. Who knows what the rest of the day has in store for us?
