My night...

 
 
Copperhead!!
 
I went to shut the chickens in and yes I had shoes on and a flashlight...I was swooping the ground with the flashlight and didn't see anything...Then when I came back around the house Lydia alerted me to this little darl'in on the front porch, sheesh!! I tried to get it in the trash can without hurting it but I don't have snake tongs and this copperhead was lively...I ended up using the shovel and garden rake and hurting it, but it's in the trash can and going for a ride tomorrow. I am sure the red-shouldered hawks at the property will enjoy it...food chain!!

Oh my! It would scare the c**p out of me if I met it outside. You are a brave girl, Wendy!

I am thankful to Lydia as she is the one that made me aware the snake was there...Not sure if I'm brave or stupid, lol. But I couldn't leave it there as they are venomous but I didn't want to kill it either...I've ordered snake tongs so when the next one comes around I can move it without hurting it or me!
