Snake



My neighbor poured a snake repellant that smells like sulphur along the property line. Two weeks later, she added mothballs.  It is a sickening combination that can be detected throughout my garden.


She has never seen a snake but someone on another street reported on a black one.  She did not mention the size, but I have never seen a large snake, or even a medium sized one.  Snakes are good at hiding.


I didn't ask my neighbor how she would know if the sulphur and mothballs were blocking the snakes out or trapping them inside her yard.


Not that I mind snakes in my own yard, at least theoretically.  They control pests in the garden.






I didn't tell my neighbor about the baby gray snake hiding under a log near the hellebores.  Or the soft pink baby along the pathway.  The pink was the underside and this snake was already dead, intended as a meal for a predator. 


My neighbor would not understand that life is hard, even for a snake.

Don't try to snitch any mothballs from your neighbor, please.
