We Had A Little Excitement

 The boys told me the other day that they saw a snake back by the 'parking lot' where we park all of our toys on Friday before they go home for the weekend.  I'm thinking okay that's awesome.  I told them if they ever saw it again to let me know and we would catch it.  Well, don't you know the next day Jase came running in saying that he saw the snake by the gate.  So the chase began.

Can you find him?

He's a black rat snake.

And he is a big one.  I'm 5'8" so he must be 6' or more.

We put him in a tote and waited for Levi and Pappy to come home from school.

And we waited for him to come out.

And we waited a little longer.

Then I dumped I'm out and the race was on.

The yahoos chased him all over the backyard.

He finally made it to the woodpile and we haven't seen him again.  But we are always on the lookout especially when pulling weeds or planting in the garden by the woodpile.

According to Avery, he is a 'vemomononess naconda'.  All I know is he is the biggest snake I have caught yet!
