Snakes on the Plains and other weird animals

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

Right as our party was starting the kids found this (bull?) snake in the yard. It is pretty small, and probably a baby, so I hope we don’t have a bunch of them around the house although Britton said he also saw a gardener snake. Of course, with them empty field behind us, there are a ton of mice for them to eat. And, thanks, Kitty for bringing the dead little mice and bird bodies onto the porch when you catch them. We really appreciate it (gag!). We also have a bunch of bugs, and I found this little green dude on our kitchen table. I think it is the same type I saw munching on my basil! Blends in so perfectly, I barely even noticed it on the table because I thought it was just a random piece of leaf.
