If you follow along on Twitter, you probably saw the tweet regarding the snake that lives in our pool patio drain.
Here is what you can see of him. On a clear day. When the sun is shining directly overhead.
Here is a scale pic to show the relative size of the drain.
Here’s how we found out [...]
Usually I wait until after work to putter in the garden, but those huge empty boxes just callllled to me this morning, and our clients were courteous enough to refrain from having life or death issues, so I went on out and planted. Typically here is where I type out a big long list of [...]
