Unfortunate happening

Tweet

I went to the blueberry patch to put up netting to protect the berries from birds. I found a sad sight beneath the garden shed, shown here. Somehow, two harmless snakes had gotten hung in some netting from last year. I am genuinely sorry that l left the netting so that snakes could be caught. I took scissors and freed them. The larger snake crawled off, seemingly OK, but the smaller one had died. I cannot imagine what attracted the snakes to the netting, but I am genuinely sorry that I did not carefully dispose of the netting last year.
