Herman the Garter Snake A nest of baby robins fell out of the tree in my front yard during recent rains. They are doing well on the ground in cover and Mr. and Mrs. Robin are still feeding them. I check on them daily and they move around but Mr. and Mrs. Robin give away their hiding places by making more noise the closer I get, lol. Well, today when I let my girls out for a potty break, mr. and Mrs. Robin were raising cain in my back yard. For fear the babies had made their way under my privacy fence, I went out to investigate so my dogs wouldn't hurt them. In the process I run into Herman, the resident garter snake. I quickly put my dogs in doors and grab my camera (cuz I am weird like that). After taking a few pics, I direct Herman right back out of my yard, and told him it was not personal, but Moka and Mylee were unpredictable and I could not guarantee his safety. He is welcome here, but Mr. and Mrs. Robin are not so accomodating. I thought he was cute, so I thought I'd share his pic. (and Herman could very well be Hariett)
