Rattlesnake Surprise

Over Easter weekend we were cleaning the weeds out of our yard when we came across this lovely surprise. It's the closest I've ever been to one. It even rattled at Troy. The neighbor boy came over in his army boots to help kill this thing. Thank goodness we got it before it made it to the backyard.

I am now officially PARANOID of snakes.

That scares the pants off me. Is there like a spray you can use or something you can plant to keep them away? Sheesh.

FREAKY! I'm glad you were able to kill it without getting bitten.

Yikes! I would be paranoid too. So glad you found it before it came into your yard. Hope you don't come across any more!

Yuck Nancee!!! I still haven't come in contact with one. I hope it never happens! Glad you had a nice neighbor with boots to help:)

I hear they're good at catching critters in your yard, like a cat, sort-of, but not as cuddly and soft. That is the awesomest picture. Spencer says he wants to move by you.
