Zinnias



Zinnias bloom in my son Tristan's garden in Grays Chapel, North Carolina. The brilliant flowers attracts pollinators to vegetable gardens. They're pretty and they benefit the vegetables at the same time.

Another Visitor

We had a visitor in our hen house the other day. He must have told his relatives. My wife Dedra found this fella (a little bigger than his cohort) searching for eggs this afternoon. He was relocated but left unharmed.

A Fair Trade



My wife Dedra was checking the henhouse for eggs this afternoon and found a visitor. He already had a couple of eggs in his belly, but we don't really mind too much. She put him down in the barn to catch mice after he finishes his digestion. Seems like a fair trade, a couple of eggs now and then for some rodent control. He's a black rat snake, a constrictor, non poisonous, and it looks like he just shed. There's a bit of dry skin still attached near his eye.
