Copperheads

My neighbor just alerted me to the risk of copperheads in our neighborhood. With the heavy rains, and our nearby river, they are getting flooded out of their 'dens' and are trying to get to a smaller stream. This is also the time when baby copperheads are born (late summer, early fall).

We don't back up on the woods, but she does. I had no idea when we moved here that the difference between an even number and an odd number would mean so much. No one on the even side can have a compost pile, because the foxes get in. They have to cover any plants with netting since the deer get in. We have an odd number, so we have a lot less wildlife. Still some wildlife like the snake from the spring.
