Attack of the beady eyed demon, update #3 of FrenchHen the wimp page 5

Ok, so I finally have ripe tomatoes. I went to the garden to get them, and something went over the top of my foot. I shrieked, and kicked off my sandal. Stoopid, because i had to bare foot it past whatever touched me to get the shoe.
I retrieve the tomatoes on high edge, and walk around the back of the garden to see if there's anything else to pick.

a HUGE garter snake, I mean, this thing was at least two feet long, got out of the way just in time.
Again, I gasp and on edge pick my way out of the garden.

So, will the ducks chase the nasty snakeys away if I let them run in the garden?

I don't wanna kill them, but I hate discovering them underfoot.

Do we have a heebejeebie smilie?

I don't need a smiley because I got the heebie jeebies when you said it was a SNAKE! that crawled across your foot.

Eeeeeek!

As a little girl, I would bring garter snakes in the house to make my Mom scream.

I would think the garter's wouldn't be in there if they weren't eating bugs that would be eating your plants if the snakes weren't getting them.

I would leave them be but then again I still have that little girl in me.

Garters are good snakies! They'll eat all you bad garden buggies! Be nice to him...

 

[FrenchHen]

I KNOW they're good snakeys, but they FREAK me out when I find them with my feet.

My Mom will never live down the time when I was four and we saw a snake in the garden. She ran and left me there with it!

I think it would be alright to let the ducks out with it I've had huge snakes in my yard and the chickens wern't bothered. You should be the careful one.

She's not the only one who would do that. I'd probably knock down all three of my kids to get out of there. The George Costanza thing.

In Western Oregon poisonous snakes are rare to nonexistent. Garters, well....they're everywhere.
