I first hoped it was a black rope somehow lodged in my driveway. But then it MOVED. And then my heart stopped for a second. I froze in fear. Backed up and went in the house to grab my cell phone. Because that's what I need in the midst of scary animals invading my personal space, right?!
Thankfully, it scooted away when it saw/heard/felt my presence. However, I feared that it would scurry into the bushes and attack me when I arrived home after the bout of exercise. My heart eased as I walked and then tensed up for a second as I approached the scene of terror upon my return. It wasn't there. Holla!
As Courtney reminded me, 1. this isn't nearly as scary as last time I saw a snake and 2. it is good to have friendly black yard snakes because they eat mice. And if you think I panicked a bit over this snake, you best not ask what would happen to my heart if it had been a mouse!
Oh my gosh. My heart just skipped a beat looking at that awful picture. I would have F-R-E-A-K-E-D out had it been in my driveway.
