This Eastern Garter snake is non venomous and a pest predator. I enjoyed seeing it hanging out behind my new herb bed. I have (had?) a resident vole that moved in and stayed for the past three months. Although, I haven’t seen the Garter snake or the vole for a couple of weeks… 🙂

People who live in areas with red clay soil, and own kitties who “knock” at the door, should NOT have white doors on their house.

Unpainted back door! GAAACK!
After three years of battling the never ending grunge I finally decided on a different plan.
Camouflage!
Newly painted front door
I think the color works both aesthetically and functionally. I will still have to wipe it down, but at least it won’t show the stains anymore!
So, I guess I’ll be painting the back door next!
