Arnhild,
It's the two-legged snakes that you have
to watch out for -- :)

***Repeat after me: We on Gardens are a happy family. We love one another. We are friends.***
I didn't realize that Norway didn't have ANY snakes. Wonder why not?
What do you have that is a pest/problem instead? No killer bees or black
widow or recluse spiders?

Arnhild! I always thought of you as a bold, blond, Nordic adventurer, =
(I've
seen pictures; it fits) and you won't visit me because I have snakes????
(Actually, I haven't seen my snake for a couple of years, since the
chipmunks got bad. Hmmmmm.....)
Neither MI or this part of MA has any that are poisonous, so aside from
their quick moves that make me jump, I like them. They are another =
friend
in my garden like toads and frogs.
I used to play with them as a child in MI.

ICE, glaciers, deep fjords, ICE, COLD, short wither days, endless
summer ones.

The endless summer days sounds good. I think Arnhild said once that she
almost has a zone 8 climate because of the Gulfstream. PA has winter
days that are too short for me, and even in FL they're still short,
although at least we have warmth and sun there. I notice only about 1/2
hour to 45 minute difference between FL and PA in winter day length. I'd
like a day that lasted until about 11 p.m. I think of all the extra
gardening time I'd have.

Arnhilde, last fall, I picked up a pile of damp cardboard that had been
laying in a corner of our driveway for months, and discovered a small brown
snake laying between 2 pieces . After jumping about 3 feet into the air and
letting out a scream, I realized that the snake was more terrified than I
was.... so I put a piece of cardboard back on top of it, got the snow
shovel, lifted it up and carried it to a safe area in back of a shed and
tossed it gently into the leaf litter. Then I went inside to ID it in a
book and found out that it was a common snake that eats SLUGS (enemy of
Hostas).. so, hey! I hope he's still out there having nice big meals!

Now Marcia, there you go getting us into more English trouble!
Good snacks are fruit and veggies and things without trans fats in
them. Bad snacks are full of sugar and trans fats in then.
And, for the record, even though I've measured trans fats in various
meat, I have no idea what the trans fat level is in snakes! ;)

I moved to california back in the 60's and didn't realize there were such
things as good and bad snacks.
I was out in the backyard and saw a huge snake. Being from the east; any
snake was a BAD snake.
Of course I screamed my bloody head off and my husband raced to my rescue
and blew the snake's head off.
We immediately had every neighbor within gunshot range coming to our rescue.
Guess they thought I shot my husband. At first glance they all cried that
"You killed a good snake!" How were we to know. Easterners in the wilds of
the high desert and all we'd heard of was sidewinders or rattlers.
Come to find out this was a extra large gopher snake that they had named
"George" and George was fed and babied because he kept side winders and
other undesireables at bay.
Later on my husband found another gopher snake to replace George and peace
was restored to our little part of the desert.

In Italy we have some snakes ..... If the grass is short in general they
don't appear....... if the grass is long and you have snakes in your area
.... make a noise and they will slip away...... God forbid they don't want
to meet you , hehehee! they probably get home traumatized and say to
their family they have met some monster human who wanted to kill
them.
Give them a chance, their intention is not to harm anyone
let them go on their way .They are a benefit to all of us in the chain of
existence. :))
