They're baaaack...

And so begins my annual avoidance of the back yard. This guy just came out, and I know all of his snake friends are on their way, ready to swarm my yard and give me nightmares.



Although unlike that other terrible terrible time, I was warned (by Aidan) of his presence while I was safely inside. He was definitely sluggish, but it's not long before he's ready to party and bite my toes off or strangle my neck. (What? That's not what "harmless" black snakes do? Tell that to my nightmares, and the fact that we definitely have copperheads lurking as well.)

Maybe I need to adopt a honey badger? ☺

  1. umm...eek!! I'm not necessarily afraid of snakes but, yea, don't want them just a chillen on my patio acting like they own the place!! I am however deathly afraid of worms. Makes tons of sense, I know...

    1. You're crazy! Worms won't chase you or bite. I'll take worms over snakes any day of the week. :)

    1. Funny enough, I'm only scared of the back yard for now...until/unless I see one chillin' in my front yard. (Please let that not happen!) :)

    1. Agreed! Since the honey badger idea probably won't pan out, I might have to look into moth balls. At least around the patio and the kids' play set...

  4. We had worms in our driveway yesterday, Earth Worms. I haven't seen those since I was a kid and lived in a different state. :)

    1. I'll trade ya! Worms are nasty but at least they don't bite.

    1. Hey Shawna, thanks for the follow! Thankfully, it's not daily. So far, I've only seen one snake, but it's one too many in my opinion!! Since you mention it, I really should do a post about my latest TV obsessions. I could write a whole post just on the list of shows I watch! Heading over to your blog now. :)

  6. Oh hell no!! Are you kidding me? I DO NOT do snakes. I can't believe that's on your patio!

    By the way ... I nominated you for the Beautiful Mama Blog Award. Details are on my blog today! {And apparently Noel had the same idea for a different award ~ great minds!! LOL}
    Congratulations!! :)
