Yesterday, my six-year-old grandson Sam, who lives across the hollow from Elaine and me with his family, came running into our house and said he had just seen a snake. He has been taught not to touch snakes but not to be fearful of them, either. To respect them and come find a parent or grandparent when he encounters one.
So Sam and I walked up the driveway to where the snake was entwined in a small tree. I identified the reptile as a smooth green snake and Sam received a lesson on how beneficial these small creatures are. All in all, it was a nice little moment in life and a teachable event for Sam.
