With the weather having been fairly warm lately, it seemed the appropriate time to release the winter stowaways back into the wild.
Both garters were taken out to a small watering hole at Hawk's Cliff outside St. Thomas. The frog and minnow population there should keep them quite happy. I'm sure there are leeches too, but I didn't investigate that too much
After being kept on bark all winter, the snakes almost seemed to sigh with pleasure as they sank into the deep grass near the path. They wriggled around a big, took their bearings, and disappeared into the grass toward their new feeding ground.
Hopefully they'll fare better there than they would have hiding out in our offices.
I'll miss the little twirps. They had a lot of character.
