How did we got to talking about mice and snakes?

Ooooo, creepy. We seem to have a resident black racer--in the front ferns, not in the house!
He is black, and quite fast, and scares the pee out of me. Now and then when I walk our the front door to give the pups a walk he will dash by.
We have moles in the yard on occasion, but since we have terriers, they don't stay long. I think most have relocated to the neighbor's yard.
The dogs do a good job of keeping the vermin away.
Last years when visiting my brother and Mom in So. Fla. their cleaning lady, who only speaks Spanish, told brother that there were rat droppings in the linen closet. Seems there was a family of rats nesting under a lazy-boy chair. Ugh. It took months to get rid of all of them. When they thought they were gone, another would appear under the kitchen sink, or somewhere.
Lots of sticky traps, regular traps, etc.
Since Mom can't hear well, or see too well, she never noticed any noise coming from her chair!
It's supposed to be 96 degrees today. Will stay inside and prepare for the upcoming trip to N. D.
to see the grandkids.
