Monsoon rain brings out snake in December

Well last night the Lord decided to give us a very large rain. Zac drove to the shop and checked the rain gage. The gage showed that we had 4 inches of rain there last night. So, the creek gets out its banks last night and runs water up towards the barn. The wind has been howling here like its going to rip the roof off at any moment. The water and wind have some of the electric fences in need of some minor repair, but Zac has been waiting till the water subsides to repair them. He also had to put out hay for the horses today. Gary, my father-in-law, is going to help him. I sorta looked out the window while I was doing dishes, and I noticed that Gary kinda stopped and started and stopped and started again then stopped and kept turning his head to the side. Then he walked on to the truck. My dogs had been out earlier playing in the barn lot; so, I figured he was looking at the remnants of a mangled pig ear treat. Nope!! It was a very much alive snake. I called him thinking, "ha ha he didn't know that was a pig ear. He he." Well the joke was on me. He said, "Nope thats a snake." I said, "You are going to kill it right?" It is about to get cold again, and you and I both know that that dern snake would have found its way into my nice warm garage. I would hate to have to make a new door way into the garage. Seriously, snakes crawling in December. It just snowed here the other day.

Bad pic of the snake, but that was as close as I got to him.

The rest of the pics are of the horse lots.
