I was mowing and a little black snake came slithering through the grass. I stomped my foot at him trying to get him to turn around and head to the safety of the bushes. a place I could not go with a mower.
But "no"! He insisted on heading into the tallish grass.
Let me say to you that I am not afraid of snakes, even bigger ones. This one was as big around as a nice ink pen and not more than 10 inches long. Snakes, when they are bigger, eat the mice or rats that might be in our yard. I would be afraid of a copperhead or rattler but this was just a small, shiny black snake.
I did not want to turn him into minced meat, and I am pretty sure he got away. Right after that my mower battery ran down, so I was out of business anyway.
Now I am inside, working on trying to clear my desk. I am looking for one tiny piece of paper that has a password written on it. Wish me luck. Better than a needle in a haystack, or a snake in the grass.

I'm sure the little snake is fine. I like snakes in the grass too! I hope you found your password.

I will give a couple of warning to help it to get away, if it still insist on going on that direction, I will just let it slide.

I hope your snake made it to safety and doesn't try to visit with you again.
Wasn't it too hot to be outside there? We were at 90F before noon here!
Good luck finding the password!

I am always telling Vince when he can't find things 'you have to look under things. Not everything is going to be on top.'
But being female, I'm sure you're doing that anyway. Good luck.
