Aw, crud. . .

Three days ago, I was heading back from cleaning out the sheets and towels from tree house No. 3 and was heading to drop off some rubbish in the cans by the back end of the house.

As I was veering that way, a large, black snake shot down the rock wall and headed for the garbage cans and then slithered behind the house.

I don't even pretend to be brave when it comes to snakes. I have no idea if it was a venomous critter or not. I did manage to stifle my squeal and tell Darleen what I had just seen, so she wouldn't wander over that way for a while. The bag of rubbish sat on the porch for a few hours until I deemed it safe to trek that way (with machete in hand).
