Snake!

Hello!!
Well, my raspberry patch idea has had a sudden change of direction. We hadn’t gotten back to it and today a nice hefty tiger snake slid across the yard and into the raspberry patch!
Too many hiding spots in the pallets – although it did get UNDER the mulch/newspaper at one point too!

I had to sacrifice the new canes in the centre to the lawnmower and whipper snipper to clear the area and make everything more visible.
Sigh. I would have liked to have dug up those new canes.
No idea where the snake ended up. Hopefully after all the noise and also being watered it went to find a new place in the paddock.

The duck yard garden also got a good trim.

Jeff put on two of the gates for me too!

It was a while since we had done a lap of Anniversary Bay, so we got out this afternoon while the weather was so beautiful!
Tomorrow is meant to be raining.

I found it hard work today! The hills did not seem easy at all!! My legs went a bit rubbery more than once!! 😀

I took this photo because I wanted to stop! It was at the top of our least favourite stretch of ‘straight up’

When we got home I made us up a couple of glasses of frothy strawberry milkshakes while dinner was cooking! Its great to have enough strawberries to do that kind of thing again. They were so good!

Anyway, will leave you with a set of photos of sand patterns that were on the beach this afternoon!
Hope you’ve had a great day!
Cheers!

  1. I had to google Tiger snake. Hmmm. Yes, let’s hope she’s resettled peacefully in the paddock :-0
    We only have a couple of species of snake native to the UK, none of which are deadly to a human.

    1. We are hoping it was in transit too… Good reason to keep the grass well mowed and be annoying enough that they don’t want to hang out. At least those are generally not aggressive. Deadly yes, so you don’t want to irritate them (lol… says she, after we watered it, then mowed the whole area!!!!!) I like snakes… I wish they weren’t bitey ones – lucky you to have non deadly species!! I worry more for the chooks and Pip. Not that Pip is ever usually out without us – but he could have easily been down there on his lead with me… Will keep a close eye this summer!!!
