Over the Memorial Day weekend we spent a bit of time at Beechnut Hill farm splitting some wood, watering the newly planted veggies and installing the new (temporary) shower. As we were walking near the woodshed this rat snake slithered across our path and up a tree to "hide". About an hour later we saw him again slither under the pile of logs near the woodshed. These are very common (and beneficial) snakes in our area that will help to keep the mice population and other small rodents in check. They are known to invade chicken coops and steal an egg to eat.

| The shower connects to the garden hose which hooks up to the well pump pressure tank for a nice bone chilling shower. Excellent after a long session of splitting wood when its 90F outside. |
