Snakes and I

We don't belong in the same Universe, snakes and I. I cannot abide them, especially huge ones like I saw yesterday laying in my lawn. They paralyze me, literally! An incident as a small child, has left me with this phobia, and while it has gotten better as I matured, it still is a handicap. Yesterdays snake was huge! 4 ft easy and right where I play and work everyday. NO! Not in the field close by, or hidden by wood piles or other things. No!!!! laying right in my full view. Its like he was saying na na na na na na....Alas, my dear manly husband disposed of this bad snake for me, and I am eternally grateful for that but......Where are the rest of them? When will another one or two or more venture into my playground to frighten the bejesus out of me? Why now after all these years when we are mowing the entire area, do they decide to show their forked tongues? They have a lot of fields to hunt in. They need to leave me alone! Maybe Ill buy a falcon!!!!Ya think?
