While I was hanging a polite "do not tee off in our yard and foot-retrieval only" sign on the corner of our lot facing the course, I heard a rattle. A very distinct rattle. Boy, you can watch documentaries on TV about snakes/etc but until you hear a texas rattler in the wild, you never know how you're going to react.
Thinking back to Psych 101 "fight or flight", I RAN ! 'Flight' accurately describes how quick I ran across the yard and back into the house. I came inside and told Laura. Lucy grabs her plastic driver golf club and she says "Maybe this will help you get the snake away".
Oh boy... time to re-visit the 'Stay Away From Snakes' lesson. Quick.
