Dolly Left Us Our Annual Gift

We have a black snake that lives under the sidewalk right outside our front door.  We've only seen it a few times in the 4 years we've lived here, and we've left it alone to help take care of the numerous lizards and frogs that live out front.  The kids have named it "Dolly" - which is so funny because they didn't know that Dolly was my mom's nickname (her brother's called her that) and she HATED reptiles!   I only tolerate it because I know it's harmless.  As long as it never comes in our house - it's safe.

We came home today to find that Dolly had been exploring our flower garden and left us our annual gift.  He is now 4 ft long.  Ugh!!!

Anne wanted in on the photo too!  :-)
