Robin, eeeks. Snakes are OK – King Snakes are harmless but I don’t think I’d feel good about him feasting in my kitchen!!!! Your description of the insulation man made me giggle.

Your chickens look like lots of fun! They are pretty, indeed. I’d have chickens if my dogs would allow.

Once, when Bear was little, HH and I were in the kitchen after church. We heard this horrible crash, and Bear screamed “I just stepped onto a snake!”

Aaah!!! We ran into the living room, and there was a large rat snake climbing up the fireplace. While visiting, he fell from his perch, Bear, indeed, stepped on him. Not as gross as your experience, but hair raising enough. Cute photo of you with one of your “girls.”

You do make it sound rather inviting with the chickens and all. I have enjoyed following your chicken-ness interest. It suits you well.

Ahhh, life in the country, waking to the crow of the rooster, with the fresh aroma of chicken manure, while watching snakes eat mice on the kitchen floor.

It don’t get any better. ;~)

We’ve had no mice for years…hopefully all the cracks are filled. Ants are another story but guess I won’t complain in the face of larger livestock.

It must be that time of year. My sister had a mouse in the house this week. UGH…

I can just see the girls peeking into the house wondering just where they could roost. Can’t wait to see their new abode.

I love that the chickens like to watch y’all through the doors … wonder what they’re saying to each other in chicken speak?

Snakes, check. Mice, check. Rats, check. Bats, check. Possum didn’t get any further than the back hallway, which functions as a coat closet/mud room kind of place. Oh, they weren’t all in the house at the same time. This is over a period of over 20 years.
