Integrity counts!

I showed a home in Innisfil that was vacant and sadly the garden was full of produce that would only go bad. So I enlisted the help of a couple granddaughters who were thrilled to give back to their community. The Innisfil Community Fridge is now holding the harvest. A special thanks to Debbie Tsintaris who happily granted permission to harvest and donate the crops. I love it when we find like-minded realtors to work with.

Interestingly, there are over 3,000 species of snakes worldwide, ranging from the tiny thread snake, barely four inches long, to the massive reticulated python, which can exceed 30 feet. World Snake Day is an opportunity to dispel myths, promote conservation efforts, and foster respect for these fascinating reptiles.

All creatures are wonderful and snakes just add to the variety we get to enjoy on our planet. Have a great day all!
