Snake in the Grass

Does anybody know what kind of snake this is? He's just a baby. I found him in my back yard while moving a stack of bricks. When I disturbed him, his body puffed up a little. I hope he's not in the pit viper family.

We Love the Swing!

Making Progress

I hung the swing up this afternoon.  I thought I was finished painting, but after I got it up, I noticed some spots that need touching up.  I'm looking forward to my first cup of coffee out there in the morning.  

The Arbor Is Up!

I have only planted a few things around the arbor so far.  There are banana trees in the corner along with a couple of philodendrons.  Also, I have planted some yellow jasmine to grow up the side.  The next phase of this project will be sanding and painting the swing, then I'll move on to the brick patio underneath the swing and eventually more plants.   I can't wait to enjoy my coffee out there.
