Up to get a drink of water from the kitchen at 3am, Tara's bare foot brushed up against a Night Adder that had slipped into our kitchen. Needless to say, this caused some consternation for us. We learned later that it is indeed poisonous, and can be deadly. Fortunately, the compound guards responded quickly to our phone call. One of them noted that he had killed over 20 snakes and they quickly found him behind our counter and smashed him.
And here is more of a straight-on view. The porch is screened in and potentially very useful, though we often prefer the front door. Our vegetable garden is behind the house, but you can see even the front has plenty of trees and vegetation... thanks to our gardener's daily watering from well water. We are thankful to be safely back here after a very nice vacation with family in August.
