With the AAUW Garden Tour coming up in three days (yikes!) and so much still to do, and of course working in the 80+ degree heat this week, I haven’t been doing much else.  However the heat did bring out our annual visitor to the upper pond.

He (or she) visits a couple of times a year, and seems to enjoy the new shape of the pond with its long shallow end.

I wish he’d go after the bullfrog!

Kingsnakes are mild snakes that will eat other snakes, including rattlers.  I’m glad to see him!
