What I do when not showing Charlottesville Real Estate...

Today my family and I took a little hike and during the hike decided it was time to do a little gardening.

So when we got back home we got right to work. Well it was not long before I heard a SCREAM!!!

SNAKE!!!

I came running with a shovel (to cut his head off) thinking it was a copperhead. I was pleased to see it was a nice little 3 foot Black Snake,

Excuse the photos as I took them with my blackberry and not my camera...

Well my wife actually scared him and he laid there very still...

His is so cute I think he is smiling at the camera!

I let this little guy go and he is evidently living in my barn.

Note: a black snake can bite but he is good to have around to take care of mice and copperheads...

Back to gardening!
