An Univited Guest

We had an uninivited guest 
at our house on Tuesday, June 11th.
(I will never forget Papa Dennis' birthday now!)

I saw him from my kitchen window 
when I noticed some robins 
acting strangely on the bird feeder.  

Trevor said "Can I keep him for my collection?"  
Me:  NO!

Black Rat Snake stalking a baby bird nest under the deck
I poked and prodded him down off the porch railing.
He didn't go with out a fight and hung on tightly with his tail.
He finally decided he'd had a enough,
and slithered down off the deck behind our trash cans.

I quickly plopped a bucket down
over top of him in hopes of keeping him in there
until Daddy arrived home.
But Daddy was out playing golf with some work friends.

Then I noticed the snake had escaped!

Slithering down the sidewalk toward the garage!
I ran and shut the garage
for fear that he would go in there!

I poked and prodded him
across the drive way and into the grass.

That's it....go on into the woods

AND DON'T COME BACK!

  2. Mommy, You are "My Hero!" I would've locked myself in the house and never step foot in the yard again!!! As I told you, when Jeremy called on "Papa's" birthday with a full description of "your adventures", we were rolling on the floor with laughter! You, Trevor and Evan have such awesome adventures on a daily basis...Keep the laughter coming! We love you Gorgeous! And keep your "POKER & PRODDER" handy; never know when "HE" will be back to visit! Dennis/Papa and Debby/Nana
