Nature at my door step

This moth hung out next to our front door for 3 days.  At first we thought it was dead. Then we thought maybe it was a brand new moth emerging from the coccoon & was just chillin'.  In any case we decided to leave it alone.  It's not there any more, so it must've decided to move along.

Today our neighbor came over to borrow a tool from the garage & while Scott and Pat were in the garage a tiny snake came slithering right in!  Pat took care of it with a shovel.  YUK.

We have actually been on the lookout for snakes... a memo was sent to all of us

b/c a neighbor killed a diamond-back rattlesnake on their back porch.  SCARY!
