I survived the flower bed planting. A total of 50 annual and perennials planted, watered, and mulched.
We live next to a heavily wooded area. While moving a couple rocks in the flower bed I came across a couple small gardner snakes. It happens often around the house, harmless unless your married to my wife. She hates snakes!! I'm not allowed to tease, or mention anything about snakes, snakes I see, snakes I might find in and around the house.
Well she's standing a couple feet away. I'm in the large flower bed, on my knees, moving her decorative rock. I see and grab the snakes yelling, NOT mentioning the forbidden "s" word..."don't look" and threw them out into the side yard. Wife sees them flying through the air and I'm punched....WTF did I do?? She recovered once I explained I was in the right and we finished.
I'm still laughing at the expression on her face...it happened that quick.
