When last we saw the sandpaper drawer it contained a slithery reptile.  While that was a shock at the time I think it was preferable to this:rat-drawer

There was about 15 pounds of chicken food, presumably brought there two little cheek pouches at a time plus the feathers, muscadines and upholstery you see.  Whatever rodent went to all this trouble it appears to have not enjoyed the fruits of its labors, indeed I suspect it made a snack for ‘The Sandman’.  mmmm, grain-fed rat.  On the whole I think I prefer the snakes; they keep the drawers nice and clean.

Here’s something a little nicer, mid-winter camelias.cameliabowl
