picnic and snakes

Leigh came over this afternoon with Elliot and Lucas. The boys had a great time in the garden and messed around with all the toys. They found a frog that they chased into the hostas and then they had a picnic snack.


Good thing they didn't see the 4 foot long black snake tangled in the bird netting over our vegetable patch. After the kids were safely upstairs Laura and I put on our best Crocodile Dundee outfits (gardening gloves, kitchen tongs and kitchen scissors) and went downstairs to cut the snake out of the netting. We did a pretty good job and were happy not to get bitten.
It is a big black snake, honest...

Yuck! That's worse than a dead tarantula!
