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.

Thankfully we only have one venomous snake species here and they're woodland creatures who like to keep themselves to themselves.

I'm pretty sure our snakes also like to keep out of loud humans way. I didn't want to say what i thought, which is that they've probably been quietly handling any rodents that have been attracted the recycling for a good while. Nope, let's just pretend it had accidentally blundered in recently.

Late to this, but I keep my recycling/trash cans away from the house. Mostly b/c it's a pain to drag them up the gravel driveway. I have a small plastic bin in the kitchen to put recycling in temporarily. But they do blunder!
