So I mentioned that it rained-well it has now showered off and on for three days. That means snakes are coming out again! Sunday at church Brian killed a snake in a tree. Well, he thought he did and left it in the tree. All the students came to see after church…but it wasn’t quite dead. So Brian beat it with a stick to be sure it was dead. It did lunge at him since he was already a little upset about his head being half off.
Then we went up to the house. When Joe went to feed the dogs he saw a snake head on the bin and ran. Good thing. It was about a four foot green mamba. Very poisonous, and they are super fast. Brian was able to get that one too with the machete, but it took a few tries. All the snakes are coming out to find warm places again since the ground is cold and wet.
Pictures to come!!
The bad part is that many of the nationals have started harvesting their maize. For them that means they cut down the stalk and leave it in a pile to dry. With this rain there is a chance it can get moldy. Brian is trying to let them know that they can just leave the stalk in the field and it will dry on there. Then they can pick it as they need it, cut the stalk down and leave it on the ground to work back into the soil.
