Tonight we had an unexpected guest trying to come visit-a snake! Can you believe it? We have lived here a year and haven’t even seen one snake yet. Not one on our nature walks or the hours we spent in the garden. When I spent a summer on an Indian Reservation I saw tons of snakes every single day. Rattlesnakes at that! I saw an average of 3-5 snakes every single day so I think I have seen enough snakes for the rest of my life. 😉
Anyway my mom drove up our driveway to pick up my sister from Christmas play practice and rolled right over it (on purpose). Yikes! I am so thankful it didn’t make it into the house! I’m not sure exactly what type of snake it was but I do know it wasn’t a friendly little garden or black snake.

Wow, what a great photo! Of course, I’m glad *I* wasn’t the one who saw that in my driveway! 😉
