snakes.

a few weeks ago john and i trompsed out into the plot across the street to get started on clearing out what will become our garden. we spent hours raking out brush, bushes, trash, etc. from the land. as i was raking out a big section of hay, our neighbors came running as they heard me let out a big scream. there was a (in my opinion) HUGE snake writhing around in what we quickly named "the snake pit." john took the snake across the street to an empty piece of land. and i kept raking. until i found another one. and another. and another. we ended up removing 6 snakes from the pit and i'm pretty sure i heard others rustling about in there. oh the adventures of starting up this garden....
