Snake! For some, just the thought of a snake strikes fears in their hearts. I m not one of those people that freaks out. Sure, I have a healthy respect for snakes and will usually give them plenty of space if I see one.
That s exactly what happened to me last week. I was working in my yard building a greenhouse for my wife and happened to notice out of the corner of my eye a snake slithering through the leaves by a large pile of rocks. It was pretty much all black and about three feet long. I know enough about snakes to know that it wasn t a dangerous snake and it was actually helping with our mouse problem living out in the woods.
I feel like that scene in the movie Cabin in the Woods where the guy goes to the whiteboard and says Who had MOSS BALLS?! as a method of destruction. Over the last 12 to 13 months we've had a pandemic, riots, Murder Hornets, an attack on the Capital, and many other issues but I never thought I'd need to warn you about MOSS BALLS! The New York Department of Conservation (DEC) is warning pet and aquarium stores as well as consumers to immediately remove, carefully dispose of and thoroughly clean up after their moss balls.
