Garden Friend...not!

This will be our 3rd summer in Perry but our first summer to really start working on the yard. Sad, we know. We took a trip to Home Depot and began a list of projects. Felt great to be working outside. I was planting flowers and Eric was replacing gutter tubes when he raced around the corner of the house and told me & the kids to "stay put". I had a good idea what was going on. Sure enough...a friendly (rather long) garden snake had scared the daylights out of Eric. After our new friend was dead, we measured and "positioned" it on a rock to share with others.
