Snake!

Last  fall I saw a tiny black snake wiggling its way through the fence to the greenbelt out of our back yard when I started the lawn mower...that was my snake experience in this house..so far!

Since weeks we have a black snake, about 3 feet (90 cm) long in our front yard. It scared the kids twice when they played on the tree swings.

Then I saw THIS bull snake in the middle of our lawn in the back yard, like 2 weeks ago. Peanut, the French Bulldog, almost peed on it! By accident of course! This snake was about 5 feet long (1,50 or so) and scared the heck out of me! Luckily I could get  some pictures for proof and snaky got  so annoyed of me that it slithered back to the fence. Since then I have not seen it again.

The next day I saw a Garter snake in one of our juniper bushes. (Garter snakes are like Blindschleichen in Germany, they are everywhere but you don't see them, they are harmless and just about 50 cm long). Guess who trimmed the Juniper bushes today? Me of course and I found again snake skin of about 70 cm...ugh! DISLIKE!
