The Snake!

John saw this snake in his car wheel yesterday and thought it was fake. He drove off quickly and didn't see it in the road. Today, he saw it sitting on top of the fence post in the backyard. We watched it slither down into the post. We had a neighbor help use the hose to poor water down the post, but the snake did not come up. Then, they dumped a little gasoline and the snake came up with its mouth wide open! The neighbor fell off the step stool (but is okay) and John used a hoe to kill the snake. Gross. We are glad it it gone!
