Snake Season

Well, it's that time of year again. . . snake season! Sometimes I don't know how we would survive at the ranch without our dogs! The second we have a breach in the snake fence, Gunner lets us know with his unmistakable "snake alarm bark." This time it was a couple of racer snakes mating just inside the fence behind the shed in the garden. We left them alone for the time being because they are harmless to us and will help with the rodent problem in the garden. Plus they are climbing snakes so our snake fence can't really keep them out. If they venture outside the garden into the main fenced area around the house, we have no doubt that Gunner will let us know.

You are braver than I am. I do have some incredible birds coming to my patio. I just can't capture them like you do.
