    Default Copperhead lesson: Not fishing


    Found a copperhead this morning moving a bag of mulch I had in one of my flower beds. Reached down to pick up one of three bags, and there it was laying in the mulch next to the bottom bag.

    Lesson: Watch where you put your hands. This thing was about 2 feet long and blended well with the mulch already in the bed.

    Snakes don't normally bother me. It slowly went on its way. No harm and no bite. But made me think a bit about how well mulched flower beds can hide something.

    Fishing is a privilege...catching is a bonus. Enjoy each precious moment we have to experience our great outdoors!

    I hear ya, those snakes can blend in so well it’s unbelievable. Glad he didn’t turn and say hello, would have ruined the day.

    I appreciate you not killing it needlessly. I'm a lifelong snake guy. Very cool and under appreciated animals. But definitely watch where you put your hands and feet.

    He lived.

    I have three beds in my backyard bordered with landscape curbing. One is for blueberries, one for a fig and pomegranate tree, and the last is for vegetables.

    I was in flip flops as usual. I guess I will have to re-think that for a while.
