Unwelcome surprise!!!

I just got home from boot camp and decided to pull a bit of this out of my flower bed!

Crab Grass

I look up and this is what I see...

Live snake that is now a DEAD one!!

I just about ran for the hills!!  Oh wait...I'm already on the hill!!  Had to post this for a friend of mine...Charlie P.!!  We share a HATE of snakes!! ;)
