I was expecting James and Kathy to show up, so Sunday night when I heard the car door slam, I jumped up to go and turn on the outside lights for them and stopped in my tracks for there, in the middle of the hallway, was a snake, right in my path.
I yelled at the mutts to back off, which they didn't
I yelled at James and Kathy to remain outside, which they did
And rushed to the kitchen to grab my snakekilling cleaver and hack the serpent to many and squiggly pieces.
Then, and only then did I open the door, knowing Kathy's intense dislike for snakes, particularly
live ones.
I scooped the still moving parts in to a plastic bag to be disposed of later and sat down to have a pleasant visit with James and Kathy.
With the mutts, the rodents, the bats and now snakes, it is getting to be a bit crowded in my house.
