We had a fantastic time at Mercer and learned so much. Did you know that all copperhead snakes have Hersey Kisses type marks on them? (see photo)
We also found out that 2 teaspoons of molasses in a gallon of water makes a good fertilizer and helps to keep the fire ants away. And when you buy your molasses buy the cheap stuff, it has more sulfur in it.
