8( Just used our snake grabber to haul a copperhead out from the garage. Also found a use for my hyper-local bitters from my own extracts, mint extract, green walnut extract, rose extract. The alcohol convinced it to move out of it's hidey corner and then -- once i had removed it, i splashed alcohol all across the garage door entry. Snakes.  Adrenaline plus here tonight.

Christine finds snakes extremely distressing but we both held it together. I'm not excited about a copperhead in the garage at all.  I want to get cinnamon oil and suffuse the house with it.
