I don't think I've ever seen a tiger salamander before. I find a salamander in the chicken's water pan once in a while but they don't look like that.

We've been finding some tiny snakes about 6" long. They have a pointed tail and are fat. They don't really look like bull snakes or rattlers. And they are way too quick to get a picture of.

Over 90 degrees here right now. Ugh!

Watch for an upturned nose. It is possible that they could be Hog-nosed snakes.

You can see how small it was because it is in the purslane.

Bob says that is what we have been seeing.. they are hog-nosed snakes. So guess they aren't anything to worry about. Too small to eat chickens and not poisonous. So I'm okay with them. They probably eat bugs and maybe mice? We have plenty of both...

Yep, insects, mice and they love the little toads.

Nooooooo not the little toads!! I love little toads.....

I do too but if all the little toads survived, we would be quickly overrun with them. Before my goldfish and Rosy Red minnows began reproducing, i used to easily produce at least 1200 little toads every year just from that one little pond.

Okay, I concede. The snake may have a few, but you tell him that he can’t gave all of them!

Thanks to bird netting I will be picking cherries for a cherry pie tomorrow.

Those are some tasty looking cherries Bob!

I was putting wood chips (homemade) around one of the trees and the cherries are definitely ripe and very tasty for a pie cherry. I am so glad I planted these trees years ago.
