This November is peculiarly warm. Last night while out walking the dog at around 10:30, she alerted me to a movement between my feet. I looked down in the darkness and spotted a quickly moving shadow which turned out to be a tiny snake I almost stepped on. It was simply snaking along on down the street in the darkness. There are a lot of these little snakes on the street around here, most of which are flattened, though I've never seen them in November before.
