Snakes etc.

I was out working on the garden again and several of the snakes were still there. So I ran in to get the camera for a few pictures and here they are! I think this last snake picture is my favorite I didn't realize I got his head in the picture. He was slithering away a little to quickly and I thought his head was between the rocks. Look at

those eyes glaring at you. There were some babies (perhaps 12-14" long) but they got away before I could get a picture. The others were maybe 30"or so. Also a picture of the garden so far. It is not exactly what I had planned with regard to the mulch and flat rocks but I'm running out of time and I thought this would be a quick and inexpensive temporary fix since the mulch is free :). I need to till the back part and plant a few things there and then till between the trees. Then I want to divide the hostas that are there replanting around the trees and in between the trees. I may have to do that next spring cuz I'm not sure I should be digging them up now. Perhaps I'll try digging up one and dividing it and see what happens. I'll have to wait and see...maybe if we have a couple of cooler days and some rain. After the tilling is done and plants planted I'll have to finish the edging and get two more loads of mulch. Hope there will be some mulch to get by the time I'm ready for it. Remember you can enlarge any pictures by clicking on them. Well that's it for now.
