snake in the grass

One of the days Paul was mowing the grass, a tiny snake slithered out from the edge of the garden.  Matix caught it and loved on it all afternoon.  After a while, we made him set him down so he could go home.  He named him something like “Slowdago” but now we can’t remember what it was exactly. Now he says he named him “Abersnaker” ??? Love that silly boy.

He carried it around, put him down the small slide, talked to him, put him on the ground and picked him back up when he started to leave.  He said he wanted to keep him forever, but I am not a fan of a pet snake, so he released him back into the garden and moped around for a few minutes until he found some other treasure. He is so gentle and soft with snakes and bugs and tiny creatures like that.   He studies and wonders  and I love to watch him.
