Holy Crap

Fun at the lake never ends!! After Tom and I went shopping today, we pulled up to our garage to unload groceries. I had carried some in, when Tom came running in with the dogs yelling"Snake in the yard". I grabbed the camera and ran out the back door. Tom is standing on the bench with a hoe trying to get to the snake. Oh my gosh it was a diamond back rattler. I do not know how he did not step on it. He hit it three times and the thing raided its ugly head and showed its fangs. I guess we disturbed him from sunning. I know living at the lake we will see snakes, scorpins, and trantulas, but this is the first time since living here, 5 years, that we actully had a rattler in our yard. Scary huh!!

Look how big this thing is!! Do not think it is a baby. So glad Tom found this and not one of the Grandkids.
