I just finished 4 hours of yard work. Early during my work, I was reaching out and over Azalea bushes with a hedge trimmer and THEN....A 2 foot Black Racer snake that was sunning, darted under my outreached arm and down into the bush. I am SOOOOOOOO glad nobody saw me!! I looked like Leather Face from Texas Chainsaw Massacre but instead of a saw, I had a small electric trimmer waving in the air. I CAN dance when "encouraged"!
That ol snake is a resident of our yard. Third time I have seen him in 2 weeks.
