Shot a rattler at the house....

The one thing in this world I am scared of is a snake. I would rather go bear hunting with a switch than to be around a snake, any snake. Last year I came out of the master bath into the bedroom with the lights out and noticed something curled up on the floor and thought my wife had dropped one of her bracelets. I bent down and picked it up. It didn't stay curled up. It stretched out. It was a small corn snake. I about lost it. Come to find out, she had a sweet potato plant growing in a large flower pot on the front porch all summer just so she could see how big it would get and it was turning cold so she decided to bring it in and I guess it had got into the plant and stayed there. needless to say the plant and snake was thrown in the corn field next to us.
