   A little grass snake will eat the bugs and slugs that infest your garden, Janis… write him a thank you note!

   Heh. Fifteen years ago, shortly after i met my current wife and her daughter (who was fourteen at the time), i picked up Helen (step-daughter) and went to meet Kate at some friends’ place.
   .
   When i parked, Helen was about to get out, and she said “Oh, look – there’s ivy instead of grass here between the curb and the sidewalk.”
   .
   And i said (without thinking, but Helen didn’t believe me) “That’s okay – there probably aren’t any snakes in it.”
   .
   Just the other day, Helen brought that back up and informed that she still hasn’t forgiven me.

   I can’t believe Janis wants to kill a harmless little snake … she’s usually soft-hearted about creatures.

   
   Why not have Arlo carry it off to a field or even a less manicured part of the yard, if there is one?

   about 13 years ago my daughter was cleaning out a flower bed started yelling about a snake. I know I had seen a small grass snake a few days before so I told her to leave it alone, and went to move it. I looked and didn’t see the snake so I asked her where the snake was, she pointed to the dirt at the edge of the bed and all I saw was an Earth Worm……I remind her of that at least once a year, every year. lmao.

   The other day I was riding down a country road and saw something glistening in the morning sun in the road. It was a big garter snake. I caught it and released it where it would be less likely to be sunning in such a dangerous location.

    Once saw a “breeding ball” of Garter Snakes…very interesting.
    .
    (Okay….truth be told…..I was actually looking for my errant tee shot on a par 3 hole when we saw the snakes…yes, if you golf with me you generally go on the equivalent of a “nature walk” by the end of the round!)

    You mean there is a different way to play golf? My nature walks are always spoiled by my golf game.
