An unwelcome visitor

We had an unwelcome visitor today.


Ella and I had just come home from doing the grocery shopping, and I was opening the french doors onto our front deck when I spotted this guy.
I will be honest, I jumped!
I'm so NOT into snakes. I can deal with just about any other creature(including cocky's, bugs and spiders...maybe even mice?) but these guys...makes my skin crawl. YUCK!
So, I quickly closed up the doors til Jase came home from work and checked out there on the deck and BBQ.
Apparently he'd moved on. Wethink he has come down from a tree branch that is very overgrown and close to the deck. Maybe all the rain flushed him out?

So guess what I'll be organising shortly? A tree lopper!!
Jase and I were only talking about getting them lopped on the weekend...this has made me!! LOL

Promise I'll do a post about Tamworth shortly.

Chat soon,

Eeeeek!! I would have jumped and slammed too!! Did Jase catch him? Good idea to have the trees lopped, Chelle. Watch out under the hosue too, OK?

I have to tell you the only good snake is a dead one Chelle in my books... No I wouldn't kill it unless I needed to protect ME and mine but geeeeeeee they sure run a shutter up the spine (I'm from the bush and were I worked these things came to lunch about every day in Summer)I kid you not.... :(
