Meet the new protector of our garden and fruit trees. This inflatable snake was a gift from my father-in-law. It is meant to deter birds (and hopefully small rodents). So far, I've successfully startled myself and have not yet seen any squirrels or birds hanging out near it. I have funny/depressing visions of a ground squirrel running by our window with the snake in its mouth, taking it to the same place it/they took all our tomatoes last year.

i wonder what other kinds of goodies would be there with the tomatoes and the snake!? this is absolutely hilarious!!!
even though i recall you receiving this gift at christmas, at a first glance i was startled and disturbed thinking you actually had a snake to report. hope it works this well with your garden visitors!
Em, I just saw your Survivor comment. Those damn tornado warnings! They effect such a small area and take up the broadcasting for the whole state.
Did you watch the episode? Did you cry? I can't watch it tonight so don't leak any spoilers for this week.
p.s. I thought your snake was real ... until I read on.
