Another Snake

-

Yesterday we were doing yard work.  I was in the front garden by the pond pulling weeds and found a snake. I really enjoy having snakes in our yard.  In 2020 when we were putting in the pond and redoing the front garden, we found This Snake. 

There are a lot of benefits to having a snake(s) in your yard/garden.

  • They eat snails and slugs and Japanese beetles, which can be harmful to your crops and flowers.
  • They eat small rodents which can infest and wreak havoc in your home and gardens.
  • They play a crucial role in keeping the prey populations down.
  • Because they help keep the rodent population down, they help prevent the spread of Lyme disease.
I get so happy and excited when I find another snake in our yard.  We try our best to protect them from Rooben and Tigger.

Star Wars Day 2025

  Since Star Wars Day was on a Sunday this year we invited Nick’s parents over for dinner. We also invited Jeff, Abbie, and their boys. Brichette and Flint came too. It was so fun! We had Star Wars plates, napkins, and tablecloth exactly like the ones we had last year -  2024 Star Wars Day ! For food we had: Bantha Kabobs (Chicken, bacon, and pineapple) Thermal Detonators (meatballs) Stormtrooper Cheese (sting cheese) Sarlacc Cheeseball Star Wars Wheat Thins (no fun shapes) Naboo Fruit Mandalorian Goldfish Crackers Wookie Cookies (no bake cookies) Ewok Brownies For the Sarlacc cheeseball I made a regular cheeseball, but instead of covering it in sliced almonds, I covered it in breadcrumbs to create the sand. I wrapped it in plastic wrap and shaped it into a ball and then pushed a hole in the center. Then I placed it in the fridge for a few hours to harden. I pulled it out and placed two sliced almonds in the hole to create the Sarlacc monster. I used string cheese for the “ten...
