Each year when I roll back the weeds or pull them, I find a snake hole or two with a trail leading from the hole. The photo below is a snake hole that I uncovered this year while preparing a leek bed.

The snake trails always make a meandering path toward the mint and daylily bed. That is probably where dinner lives. The mint and daylily bed is so thick and old there is no telling what is in there. I do know that an assortment of animals and bugs overwinter there under the arches of dead leaves and stems. A couple of years ago I found an old red tennis shoe on the west side of the bed. I do not remember missing that shoe. It had been in the bed for at least a decade.
