Thanks for your take on the area. Christ is our Lord. We’ll do some detail research on the snakes, which we’ve heard warnings about from others too. Again, thanks and we could use more if you have it.
If out in the fields or woods, watch for tics and another fun pack of critters are chiggers. They usually stay on a flower that looks like Queen Ann’s lace. Coyotes are plentiful and will take your small animals if you leave them out at night. Watch out for the 3 leafed plants, poison Ivy and oak. The ivy doesn’t bother me but oak eats me up.
If you are out in the country understand you are on your own for the most part. If you have to call the sheriff they may respond in 5 minutes or 45 minutes depending on where the nearest deputy is located. Develop friendships with your neighbors and get to know their vehicles and they will get to know yours and a country version of neighborhood watch kind of happens lol! This being said, if you don’t own a firearm buy one and learn how to use it. Crime isn’t bad but-but you need to be prepared to be on your own. That being said don’t look for the county to plow your road in a snow storm unless you’re on a major road and there will be no school if it snows much at all.
