Well, I don't really have a snake. He lives in a little blue spruce bush by my patio. This bush is between the patio and the walk, so I see him every time I walk down that path. He is a pretty big garter snake- the biggest I have ever seen. Yesterday he would not move. I stood and watched him for a while, I walked by many times as I worked in the garden. Then he changed position and I could see his entire body. A wide spot in his middle revealed that he had recently eaten a small creature.... probably a mouse. YAHOO. He may stay in the garden. He has proven his usefulness. Now, I wonder if he could eat that little rabbit that keeps hopping through the garden and chewing off all the flower heads.
