Experiences With Lawn Services in Raleigh - The Snake Incident
A few years back, my Dad hired a neighborhood guy to come mow our yard. That was pretty much all he did. Nothing like the options you get with a Raleigh Lawn Service. This was before I was old enough to mow, but for some reason I always liked mowing.
I remember watching intently as he or my dad mowed our grass, just wishing that I was big enough to help in some way or do it myself. I think mowing is kind of a rite of passage for me. Maybe I always equated mowing with being a man or something. I looked forward to mowing for years. But once I tried it (and was “asked” to do it regularly) I stopped liking it so much. Kind of like pumping gas or dating a crazy girl.
On this particular day I had stopped watching through the window when I heard the doorbell ring. I remember standing behind my Dad as he opened the door. The yard guy pointed down our brick steps to a paper grocery bag.
“Got a snake,” he said, smiling. I went outside to look into the bag and there was a big black snake in there. I think he called it a “black racer.” He’d seen the snake while mowing and managed to trap it in the bag. I’ll never know where he got the paper bag. Burning questions like these keep me awake at night.
