In a world where tranquil gardens are a place of rest and relaxation, only one thing could ruin a Sunday morning. Snakes. Snakes on a wheelbarrow.

As I reached into the wheelbarrow to get a handful of mulch for the garden I felt something slither across my palm. I looked down in time to see a snake slithering back into the mulch and out of my hand. As I dropped the mulch and reeled my hand back I see it, the tiny diamond shaped head popping up with mouth open in a strike position and then the tail starts rattling. Good thing I was paying attention because young rattlesnakes can be much more dangerous than adults. I guess it’s time to get rid of the mulch pile by the back fence.
Update: I don’t know about you Helotes, but Amy took care of our mulch pile in less than a week. Unfortunately no burning was involved.
