gardner S N A K E S

We have these holes in our pathetic little patch of grass. Lots of them- perfect little circles scattered sporatically in the area. I've been watching them, trying to figure out what little creature is burrowing its way around.

Last night, while putting the little guys to bed {always when our most profound conversations occur} I mentioned it to Jim. My guess is that they're little snakes, but it seems too cold at night still for them to be moving around. Maybe they're just wait for the heat in Kansas. 

Joining in, Coleman said, "They have snakes in Germany?"
I answered, "Oh, there are probably little gardner snakes here- nothing too big."
He responded, "Good thing you don't have a garden here, otherwise you'd have gardner snakes."

Jim corrected us both letting us know they're actually called garter snakes, not gardner snakes. Whether they're here or not, we have yet to discover.
