Mulch +

Mulch + tarp + a few weeks break in the gardening + wet weather =

snakes!!!

When we lifted the tarp off the mulch today one mama and one baby came out of the pile. I carried, shooed and corralled the mama towards the woods. Unfortunately the baby went back IN the pile.  EEK!!

And, I don't know if mama's coming back.

I'll put pics up later.

Desperately trying to finish the mulching before MORE rain comes ... making this work kinda hard... all this rain... and the snakes and all...

hmmm... I wonder if there are more babies, or a daddy snake in the pile?
