Some of our neighbors think I’m weird for using a push mower (battery powered, charged by our solar setup) on our two acre field, but mowing slowly and stopping on a dime enables us to protect the creatures with whom we share this space

Garter snakes are such little cuties. 🥰
I love em too! This one is the biggest I’ve seen at our place so far, but I saw a tiny one in a different area today too
A noodle!
