Let's just say that I've had a little too much interaction with nature lately... first there was the coyote that killed my cat. Then we found the bird's nest in our wreath hanging on the front door. We also had a HUGE alligator snapping turtle crossing our street during the monstrous floods we've had lately.
So, should I be surprised that I walked into my kitchen after a hard day's work to find this (did I mention we live in the country?):
I tried to pick it up by its tail, but it took off under the fridge. I wound up calling one of our friends who lives nearby (big shout out to Greg Tapley, my hero!) and after about 45 minutes we finally outsmarted the snake and was able to throw it outside. What a day?! What's next?
By the way, I'll post an update on the little baby birdies that have hatched in the wreath later. They are so cute!
Bonus points for anyone who can name where the title of the blog post came from...
