We have seen some deer around.

As soon as it warmed up some the SNAKES came out.
I have found 5 of the little friends so far.
Sue was out front planting some flowers and this one crawled across her bare foot.

Needless to say that it was very exciting for a couple of minutes.
These are the Common Garter Snake.
The ones that I can catch I move to the empty field behind the house.
