What a stick!

It's been a while since I have posted a blog, but at least I have something interesting to share and I am not just rambling on!

I was sitting in the computer room looking up directions to some properties Moon and I are interested in when Moon decided to go outside and put chemicals in the pool. He started to get frustrated with me for putting a stick on the side of the pool, but instead of saying anything, he was just going to move it. When he reached for the stick, it moved off the side of the pool and into the yard. The stick was a snake! After the "stick" moved by itself into the yard, Moon thought I was playing a joke on him and thought it was a fake snake. It wasn't until the head started to move toward him that he knew it was real! He called me to grab my camera and "come look what fell off the side of the pool!"

After I took a few pictures, Moon wanted to know what we should do about it, so being the clever person I am, I said "Call Mr. Coley or Coy. They'll take care of it!" Needless to say, Coy came down and took care of what I thought was about a 4-foot snake. (He was long and FAT!) Coy was our hero for the day and after he slayed the snake, I made him hold it by the tail so I could take a picture. (Look at how big the snake REALLY was! And it's missing its head!)
