My friend Elijah

Elijah is friendly, unobtrusive, and altogether quiet. He shows up now and then, usually when least expected. I spend time with him outside, particularly in my garden.

But Elijah is not, under any circumstances, welcome inside our house.

Elijah is a blacksnake.

Black Snake 3

My husband doesn't like him at all. Not even outside. Poor Elijah.

    He's beautiful... but I wouldn't want him in my house either.

    Where did you get the name Elijah?!?

    Oh, in a convoluted manner.

    You know the song "Elijah Rock," which has the line "Satan ain't nothin' but a snake in the grass?"

    It came from there.
