Back Porch

Happiness on my back porch - little morning glory seedlings.  My dream is that they will vine around the uprights on the porch.  

Every morning I check them for growth.  The Burpee catalog assures me that the flowers will be a glorious shade of purple.

But, this morning there were guys replacing the gutters.  (I need so many home repairs.)  And as the men were banging around, a big black snake crawled out from under that back porch.

One of the men moved the snake across the street, after his buddy took pictures of him holding it, but still . . . it could come back.

I know, they kill mice, etc., but I'm not happy.  My plans were to weed the overgrown flower bed at the back of the porch once the day starts to cool, but now I'm reluctant.  That snake could have buddies who are looking for him.
