Snakey

I first saw Snakey in my flower garden. I had moved a large rock and he was curled up under it. There were some beautiful X’s in his pattern. I did not want to know if there was a rattle on his bum. So I put the rock back and let him continue his slumber. The next time I saw Snakey, he was slithering in the yard. He had dashed around the base of a walnut tree. Going fast, traveling for what reason? Was he after a mouse? I watched, but could not see at this distance. I am pretty sure it was the same snake. Tan with a bit of yellow. About a week later I found Snakey at the top of my concrete steps They are in my side yard which lead up to my second garden. It was a sunny day. He was curled up in a fetal position, soaking up rays. I decided to go a different way that day. I was not afraid, but he looked incredibly comfortable. I did not want to disturb him.
