This afternoon we were going to do a good deed. Great Aunt A has a nest of snakes in her yard. They are not poisonous snakes, but she has seen multiple snakes at the same time on more than one occasion. She is deathly afraid of them. She said every time she sees them she nearly has a heart attack…literally.

The boys decided they could help her. They would catch the snakes and take them somewhere (unclear to me) and release them so she wouldn’t be scared anymore.

They went in her backyard armed with a plastic bag and a spade. They searched for snakes and snake holes.

I thought I would die laughing when Great Aunt A’s dog ran up behind Older Boy. He jumped about a mile high.

They found a hole which turned out to be a sprinkler head…luckily they didn’t dig it up.

No snakes…more searching tomorrow.
