Heart attack!!

That’s what this harmless little garter snake almost gave our young city slicker neighbor! :—) It is harmless and eats lots of bugs! I think the patterning is beautiful.
Well we are not in Portland. We are back home. Our flight was so delayed that we were going to have to spend the night in Atlanta! So, we rescheduled and, Lord willing, should fly out Saturday. The kids are disappointed but this is better for us.
