a slithery visitor...

We had our yearly summertime visitor again! Yesterday I went to do some errands and came home to this friendly visitor at our doorstep. However, he wasn't too friendly for long. Of course I yelled for Kirby to come and get it (he deals with the snakes, frogs, and big spiders around here) and quickly grabbed his "snake catching" gear (broom & garbage bag). We chased it around the house trying to trap it with the broom and luring it into the garbage bag. Finally, Kirby got it in and we walked it over to the waterway to release it. Hopefully we won't see him or his relatives again anytime soon!
