Snakes, Bees and Groundhogs - O My!
There has been four snakes, so far, found in the dining room this summer. Two live, two dead. If we don't find them soon enough Irene kills them. Three have been obviously Ring-neck snakes, the first one was a black snake. Why are they in my dining room, second year in a row?
Last night we were relaxing with the gang at the gate. I noticed a weird, elongated shape just past the back fence. It was as big as Skip's head. I hadn't noticed it before. I walked most of the way down and realized it was a HUGE bee's nest, could see them buzzing around it, coming and going like an air traffic controller was coordinating their flight.
It is still pretty hot around here. Tom decided he would try to blow up some groundhog burrows, hopefully with them in it, hiding from the heat. The last straw was while mowing grass and nearly losing the tractor in the vertical holes. You can see to China in a couple of these things!
