Outside the front of our home this evening (Chloe likes to sit there when it’s cooler), I noticed a maybe two foot long snake in the grass! I got a little closer, and when I stood still for a while, the snake made it’s getaway across the path and into the bushes in our front garden (we’ll have to remember to be careful now when we trim them!):
(looks a lot like the picture of southern water snake here)
