Dennis has combined his love of gardening with his desire to do no harm to snakes. He discussed snake myths such as a snake will chase you. He says the snake has an escape route and you just happen to be in the way. He shared photographs of snakes and talked about how to identify specific snakes such as venomous Timber Rattlesnake, Water Moccasin (Cottonmouth) and Copperhead. He also shared photos of several non- venomous snakes.  To minimize snake encounters keep your hands and feet out of areas you can not see and keep debris picked up. When you encounter a snake outside leave it alone and let it go on its way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our own Betsy Smith, a certified yoga instructor, led stretching exercises during our break. She encouraged us to do these exercises to improve flexibility, balance and posture. What a fun break! Thank you, Betsy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img width=\"1440\" height=\"1920\" src=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3567-1440x1920.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21932\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3567-scaled.jpeg 1440w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3567-720x960.jpeg 720w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3567-296x395.jpeg 296w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3567-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3567-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3567-250x333.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><figcaption>Dennis Pinkard presenting \u201dSnake Awareness\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img width=\"1712\" height=\"1920\" src=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3572-1712x1920.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21933\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3572-scaled.jpeg 1712w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3572-856x960.jpeg 856w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3572-352x395.jpeg 352w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3572-1370x1536.jpeg 1370w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3572-1826x2048.jpeg 1826w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3572-250x280.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1712px) 100vw, 1712px\" \/><figcaption>MG Betsy Smith leads yoga stretching during break.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img src=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3574-1920x1762.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21934\" width=\"752\" height=\"690\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3574-scaled.jpeg 1920w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3574-960x881.jpeg 960w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3574-395x363.jpeg 395w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3574-1536x1410.jpeg 1536w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3574-2048x1880.jpeg 2048w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_3574-250x229.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\" \/><figcaption>Members doing yoga stretching<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img src=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_2194.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21935\" width=\"752\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_2194.jpeg 1656w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_2194-960x704.jpeg 960w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_2194-395x290.jpeg 395w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_2194-1536x1126.jpeg 1536w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2023\/10\/IMG_2194-250x183.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our October meeting featured Lee County MG Dennis Pinkard and his program on Snake Awareness.
