Garden Friend

Today was spent weeding and turning the dirt in some of my garden beds. Near the end of the day, I saw the first snake of the year. She stopped and we looked at each other for a few minutes.
Then she went on her way. It's hard to tell in the photos but the snake is about 2 feet long. I hope I'll see her again soon.
