What's for dinner?

A little excitement to start the day. Colleen took out the trash. Under one of the trash cans appeared a five-foot long rattlesnake. Colleen tried to get it to just leave, but it kept coming back to the trash cans area. So Colleen got out the shovel and the snake started spewing venom everywhere. Colleen prevailed, as I could have warned the snake, except I was sound asleep.
