Blaze & Daze

In the first language I learned as a kid, the term zocka dinkj meant sugar container. With five boys (& one girl, the youngest) we were certain to inform anyone we were dating that the term may come up at the dinner table. Es aul vekoft (v sounds like an f with the t silent) means is it sold. It's a funny language.
 
This garter snake caught me by surprise while watering the container plants behind the barn. It's the largest one I've ever seen - very pregnant - way over an inch in diameter in the mid section. It's great to see them around considering there are a few cats here and they compete for food and don't always play nice.

Do they like squirrels? Or are they not big enough?
