This place is beautiful … but … this morning I found out that there are slithery reptiles that inhabit the area !!
While walking Sadie this morning, I saw 2 neighboring campers staring at the grass next to their campers … jokingly I yelled, “are y’all looking at a snake?” To my surprise, they yelled back, “YES!” OMG 😲 !
He then said that it was a foot long copperhead, but that soon it will be a dead copperhead ! His friend had walked away but came back with a hatchet & whack! He chopped the sucker in half! They told me copperheads are poisonous! And where there’s one, there are probably more!! Plus, I was told there are rattlesnakes & black snakes here as well 😳! Oh, great 🤦🏻♀️!!
I came back to the house & placed some moth balls by my door cuz I read that repels them, but then that was all I could smell, so I threw them away!
I told some nearby neighbors, they seemed concerned for the moment, but, apparently they are used to seeing them and went about their usual routines. 🤷🏻♀️
As for Sadie & I, we are now VERY cautious when we go for our walks !!

I could never get that close to a snake to hit it with a hand hatchet … a long handle ax maybe !
