Collecting termites, measuring snake

After the first decent rain, the termites appear then the kids come with their collecting vessels! Only the bodies are eaten, not the wings. 

A variety of snakes are found on this farm. This curled up dead guy was killed and then thrown into valhalla (the woodburning boiler!). 

While the sponsored students were cleaning up leaves from the yard a puff adder was disturbed  ....he/she got the same treatment.
