Snakes and Ladders

Angie and I have an ongoing battle about the snakes in our yard.  We mainly have Black Racer snakes.  They do not bother anyone and they are not venomous.  Angie always wants to go out in the yard to rid us of snakes.  I had told her that they were endangered.  Our neighbor told us that anyhow.  Today, Michelle was going out to her bus.  She walked near something that looked like a branch.  Angie saw it move.  Now she is on another conquest.  She wants to find the brown snake to get rid of it.  I just hope she does not tear up the plants getting to it.
