Happyman, I'll trade my veggie crop for a freezer of venison!
Got another snake this weekend! geez. This time its a hognose. This one was solid black. Most internet photos show them in a patterned skin, but do comment that they can be solid black. It clearly had the turned up nose, which I don't think is confusing with anything else?
Our Yorkie is proving to be a big help around here. He alerts us to snakes very well. The lab, on the other hand, was very cautious. I bet he's had an experience out in the woods at some point.
And look at the ground in this photo! It's our largest of about 6 watermelon.
That's about all there is to report. The chicken tractor has finally made its way down to the back yard, so my wife is happy about that!
