This evening we put our free range chickens back in their coop for the night. We had an extra visitor, a garter snake waiting for us. It was on the chickens perch still as stone. Until we netted it and took it outside. It became a fast moving black ribbon of go. It was put in the meadow where I am sure it will be happier than spending the night with two angry roosters. We also had a wounded ring neck snake with an orange belly show up thanks to my cat, Poppy. He was very proud to have caught a snake. Who knew a cat would love to hunt snakes? With all this warm weather it is snake season out here in the Ozarks.
