Congrats on the house! Whoo hoo!
Now....about Tennessee....
When I was a kid there was a song called "I don't like spiders and snakes"....
Luckily I do like spiders and snakes. Tennessee is awesome and worth every bug and critter. However, we did stop tossing vegies over the back deck several years ago: we had several skunks decide to travel through every night. Spiders and snakes yeah! Skunks ugh!
May your new home be blessed with Peace and Love,
Diane
