The other night we were getting dinner ready when Sweet Pea yelled, "Snake!" and pointed at the front door. Excitement and pandemonium reigned, while I repeatedly yelled, "Indoors or outdoors?!?"
Once we figured out where it was, we were all fascinated to watch it. I can't believe Sweet Pea spotted it -- it was curled up in the wrought-iron scrollwork in the transom above our front door. Perfect camouflage for a black snake!
Over the next hour, we tracked it as it slowly moved across the front of our house. Now it's out there somewhere, doing its job ridding the neighborhood of rodents. Snakes are pretty cool.
