Little snake in the house

 I was just putting a few things away when I noticed something different out of the corner of my eye.

Do you see it?



There under the chair. A short skinny little snake. Not too scary but not something you want in the house either.



The patio doors are right there so I grabbed the broom and used it to encourage the little fellow make his exit.

Well my curious cat, Puss, barged into the middle of things to see what was going on.
 She had her head down sniffing and came right up on the snake... instantly she jumped about two feet straight up into the air!
That startled me more than the snake did!

All turned out fine...the cat recovered and the snake went outside.
 It must have squeezed in through some tiny crack.  Let's hope there is no opening that the big ones can get in through, although we have had larger snakes in the basement a couple of times.

So here are a couple of flowery photos so you won't be left with snakes on your mind.



Peonies and a tomato plant in a grow- bag.



Peonies are so pretty and their blooms last a long time if there's not a lot of rain.



The red peony bush is not so robust.


Too bright for a good photo. The blooms are more red, not the bright color that shows here.
