A lot of women are afraid of mice. They scream and shout and climb on chairs if they see a mouse. I can not understand that. Mices are nice little animals. They seem to be quick and clever. It's nice to look at them.
Get me right: I do not want to have a mouse living under my bed, I do not want it to run through my kitchen. But a mouse in the garden or in the wood - no problem with that.
In general: no problem with animals if they are were they are supposed to be. A tiger in the jungle, an eagle in the air, a spider in the cellar - no problem.
Yesterday I went through my garden. It's a small garden. Nothing special, just some lawn, flowers, some bushes and two or three trees. Thats it. A small garden attached to a small house, surrounded by other houses with small gardens in a small town in western europe. Nothing special....
Until yesterday...I went into my garden, made a few steps over the lawn when all at once I saw:
A real snake creeping through my little garden, about five/six feet long, green to grey, thick as my underarm!!!
I was frozen in horror, then I screamed. I shook my arms and screamed like mad. The snake raised its head and slowly disappeared under some bushes. I rushed into the house, slammed the door, called my neighbours. They looked everywhere, but no snake. I do not know if they believe me, but I know what I saw. I'm not nuts.
It's horrible. A snake in my garden. Where does it come from, what does it want in my garden and where is it gone? And will it come back?
I am so horrified!!!
This is not Texas or Arizona. Snakes do not belong here.
And even if so: NOT IN MY GARDEN!
***************************************
I like everything to be where it is supposed to be.
A snake in the desert, a cup in the cupboard, a book in the bookshelf, a naughty bottom in the corner.
That is the way it should be. No reason to change that!
I like it the oldfashioned way.
So please...
Can someone tell me how to get rid of that snake and to get back to normal?
