Last week, the moon was bright and full, so bright it lit up the sky at night. I believe it was a harvest moon and officially marked the beginning of fall. We still had some warm days but it's finally cooling down a bit.
Along with the moon, we had a resurgence of creepy creatures. Spiders, cockroaches, and snakes! Scott bravely caught a baby snake and threw it in our trash bin. That was a lovely surprise when I got home. We ended up going next door to our neighbor, an older gentleman who's lived here most of his life, to ask what we should do. You are all now sworn to secrecy as I reveal how to get "rid" of snakes in our town. Apparently the best thing to do is to toss it in the river and hope it gets whisked away. Of course, this should all be done late at night when no one's watching. I guess it worked for now. Sadly I didn't take a picture of the snake in the trash bin because I was freaked out that it would jump out and wrap around my neck or do something horrible like that.

all i can think of is neil young's "harvest moon". good luck with the snakes in the river. it sounds a little messed up really, but i guess if that's the way that's the way.
I heard from someone that in Japan, seeing snake means a good luck (not if you're hurt but). No worries, snakes can swim, so he must've had some fun!
I can totally picture your face when you saw the snake lol
