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? ☺
