because what are the chances?

I went on two hikes this weekend with my husband, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Very amateur, probably better described as a nature walk. Both times I was startled by a garter snake crossing my path. I'm pretty sure the snakes were as startled as I was. I'm still chuckling that it happened on both days. What are the chances? lol
