We had Bill and Anita over for dinner the last night of the Jordan's stay. After dinner, Anita was sitting in the rocking chair on the porch and looked out the side and said "Isn't that a snake climing the tree?" Sure enough, we guess the snake to have been at least 6 ft. long, climbing up the tree!. When Dave, Brian, and Megan got close they noticed a snake skin up on one of the branches, and a hole in the tree itself. So this must be home for our resident friend.
He resides at a tree just on the other side of my apple trees and blueberry bush. My hope is that he keeps the other critters away from the fruit. Oh, by the way, Dave has named him Sammie.
We are blessed with many creatures of the night. This beautiful moth landed close to our outside light.
