Snakes On A Plane - Er, Light Fixture

Just before I left on Sunday morning to drive up to the farm, I went into the kitchen and saw two snakes overhead, "sunning" themselves on the translucent panel beneath a light fixture. I put the dogs outside, donned a pair of gloves and pulled out the panel which caused them to fall to the floor.

I caught one of them, a large garter snake with, I'm happy to say, a docile nature and released him outdoors. The other snake, alas, slipped behind my old tin cabinets where he may or may not have made it to the outdoors.

The plastic light panel shattered and now I'll have to find a new one to replace it. I don't think my roommate could have handled finding 2 snakes in the kitchen, especially with me gone for the weekend.

Well, that was the adventure which began my day on Sunday. There's been no further snake sightings.
