That's a funny story! I'll have to remember it....in case they ever find where the "farm" is where we take the raccoons.
We were at a wedding in Feb. and this couple at our table were telling a story abut a skunk getting into their brand new house. It was an awful mess. We started telling them about thinning our raccoon population. Luckily, we didn't mention where we used to dump 'em. After dinner, they told us where they bought their new home.... it was where there used to be no houses or people or roads. Now it's a subdivision. And where the "farm" was. I was sooooo close to blabbing where we had been going, too.
I read that sentence about the copperhead, and got goose bumps. I've been out cutting lantana and salvia back, sticking my hands way into the beds. Can't get a rake in any of them 'cause they're planted so tightly. Can't you spray snake repellent? Our neighbors at the lake used to spray it on Friday nights when they drove in. We would smell it until we left on Sunday evening. 'But they never had snakes...that we knew of...while they lived there.
