When we lived in southern NY, we were right near the Appalachian Trail and before it was illegal to hunt them, there were always the pictures in the local newspaper of men with their dead timber rattler and copperhead trophies.. Never saw one in my yard in 27 years but others did who lived closer to the fields and woods. We moved to suburban Omaha 6 years ago and I am happy to report that I still haven’t seen anything bigger than a worm, Yeah!!!! Now that I’m a senior with bad knees,, I don’t even want to contemplate having to run away from something that can strike out at me faster than I could blink. Did I mention that I”m always bare-foot? I just hope that everone is happy and content where they live. I sure am. Besides many other things, it’s quilters’ heaven here!
