When I say I’ve been *waiting for this*…! “I think I blacked out at this point, my soul leaving my body” lolollll. There is something so biblical about you crushing this snake's head and severing it from its body. Just a whole new way of “living out the gospel” ya know? :)
I got so behind on Substack that I am just now reading this and slow clapping you all over again. Loved reading this start to finish and am happy to catch up on your October happenings before the November ones come out :)
Stacy, I loved reading this! I saved it for a quiet moment so I could really soak it up. I don't know what impresses me more -- your storytelling or conquering the rattlesnake. Amazing, friend.
I’m shook. I never would have made it to even the first hoe wack. I would have grabbed my bags and the kids and never looked back. You are a farm goddess. And you ARE a great storyteller.
Oh man I'm an Aussie so snakes here are scary too but I've never had an encounter like this 😬😅 *shudder*. Also that first footnote 👌🏻 very relatable! 🙈
Absolutely terrifying, my own adrenaline spiked while reading. Burning the house down would be a viable option!😅Grateful that garter snakes are the only ones here in Canada!
oh my goodness Stacy...this story had me on the edge of my seat. A snake SLITHERED INTO YOUR HOUSE....ahhhhhh! I also love the casual way you describe repeatedly whacking it until, oh, you know, YOU SEVERED ITS HEAD.

“Venomous nope rope” is the best thing ever. I have also been waiting to read this story. I’m glad for your sake it is over.
🫣🫣🫣 Wow, you are so brave!!! you’ll always have that story to tell Nora – remember that time...

Also I don't love crime podcasts that involve murder but I really enjoyed scamanda - about a woman who faked cancer for years. So fascinating!

Ugh, snakes...we had a garter snake sneak into our basement a few years ago and that was bad enough, but a RATTLESNAKE...you’re my hero.
Also, the day the calves go down the road is the biggest sigh of relief!

Omg I had a good laugh this morning! Thanks Stacy. I have a few nope-rope stories myself :)

So scary!! Risen Motherhood is my favorite podcast! Posting about this soon! https://biyaya1.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=substack_profile
I was on edge the entire story. You’re so brave! And way to go on that cake!
Once again, I’m amazed at your bad-assery! Whaaaat?! And you bent the hoe?? So fun to read, though I do regret reading this right before bed!
