A Snake Tale

Several years ago, DH related his story of the snake he found in the back yard.

"It was THIS long," he said, holding his hands about two feet apart.

Over the years, the snake in the story increased in size to the total length of his outstretched arms.

"You laugh," he complained, "but I saw it! I trapped the head with a hoe and it almost didn't get away."

His story was foremost in our thoughts when my grandsons found this skin, shed by a snake....on my back porch!
