This afternoon, my husband mowed the lawn (possibly for the last time this fall) and tuned up the lawnmower in preparation for winter storage. When he was leaving the backyard (with the mower running) to work in the front yard, he found this little guy. Fortunately, he saw him before he ran him over. Unfortunately, he brought him in the house to share him with the rest of us. I am not a fan of wildlife in the house. Well, of course, I yelped and "asked" him to take the little critter outside. My daughter, on the other hand, was thrilled and immediately followed her dad outside to investigate. We don't get many snakes of any size in our yard, so no opportunity to experience nature should be squandered when it slithers past. They had a great time. I took the picture and went back in the house. A little later in the day, the wooly guy showed up. I love my yard!
