Hissssssssssssss...................

What do you and your neighbors do for fun?
That's my neighbor, Chris, with the rattlesnake he took down in the neighbors yard. Unnervingly so, we're seeing more of these around our neighborhood lately, and I gotta tell ya...not too many warm and fuzzies floating around with them nearby!
I'm sure they serves a purpose in the world - eating mice, etc. - but the stamina this thing had (or possibly it's will to live) was down right scary! Talk about a tough fight! Anyway, glad neighbor Dave's dogs sounded the warning and glad neighbor Chris was able to deliver the final blow...I slept a little easier.
Hayden just went through the RAD Kids program at the Sheriff's office here and he learned how to fight off strangers. I now feel the need to go over snake safety in the yard. Ugh.....

Snake safety is a must for the kids. John put out 4 gallons of Snake Away and we are getting moth balls today. We need to all adopt an OUTSIDE cat to keep them away.
