A Star Gazing Rattlesnake

Rick and I were outside star gazing this evening when a young rattlesnake decided to join us.  What gives me the shivers is that the rattlesnake was on the sidewalk that runs along the front of our house.  I was in the front yard this evening pulling and spraying weeds.  I wonder where he was when I was doing that?  I was next to some tall grass.  Anyway, of course eagle eye Rick shot its head off.  That makes number three for the year.  Because of the colder weather, the count is down this year, which is okey dokey with me.
