Garden Shed & Snakes!

So I have completed a garden shed that will keep garden tools and stuff handy! There are a lot fewer rattlesnakes the past few years. Drought? Also in the last few years, I have seen several king snakes!!! Connection? We have pulled back from automatically killing rattlesnakes. They are not really looking for trouble, and they do help hold down the gopher population. In this post, I have a photo of a king snake that is hanging around the house and garden. Last year I found one in the shop and picked it up and let it go outside. Also this year there was one stretched out across the road to the creek. Juan and I were on a “check up on the creek” trip and herded the beautiful looking fellow off the road.

Baby Rattlesnake. So cute! But DON’T TOUCH!!
Right next to the door to the shop.
This beautiful snake is hanging around the house.
Putting the final touches on the garden shed.
