Rattlesnakes and Bats at the Barnes', Oh My!

Well, friends are hard enough to make AND keep already. Surely they will never want to visit if we keep attracting these types of critters.

About 3 weeks ago, I walked right by a rattlesnake. It was just hanging out right next to the sidewalk below the stairs at our apartment. Then 5 days later, I spy another rattlesnake in front of my kitchen window. TODAY, Reed and I return home from our early morning park date with the kids and a flipping bat is in the corridor to get to our front door. You've got to be kidding? Animal control came out to catch it. Supposedly, bats are often times carriers of rabies. Yikes!

Friends, please visit. We apologize for the critters.
