Lynnett Farmer was walking outside to check on her garden Wednesday afternoon when she heard a distinctive rattle coming from a ditch a few feet away. Farmer lives near Chestatee High School in Gainesville and said she felt afraid when she heard the sound. “To my surprise, I got a rude awakening,” Farmer said.
