The Things We Find



The other night Rich and I were eating dinner like every other night. And like every other night we got up to do the dishes. Not like every other night we had this visitor! Of course, I was freaking out. Not screaming just general shock. Rich was right next to it and hadn't even noticed it. This little creature did not get a cute name like some of our other housemates, I do have a limit of tolerance. 

Rich tried to get it to move outside by poking at it with a broom. The snake started biting the broom so, it was on to plan B. I got Rich a giant pot and pan. He put the pot over the snake and pulled it along the counter until he could slip the pan underneath of it. Rich threw it out in the yard. 

The snake obviously felt threatened and so it put of this rank odor. We had to bleach down the kitchen to get rid of the smell. This is the third snake we've seen but, the first one actually in the house. I guess we will have to keep our windows closed in the evenings from now on.
