Welcome visitors to the garden

Post pics if you got 'em. I found this guy hanging out today.

I have had this little guy hanging around the last month and a half. I can get within about 5’ of him but then only hops a couple of feet away. My wife is the one who usually let’s the dogs out so he is not as tame with her. Pretty crazy how he can tell the difference.

I find these guys living under my pots from time to time. This one was hanging out in the shade of my red maple the other day.

Got these things by the thousands around here. They're welcome in the garden but I wish they would stay the hell out of my garage. They leave their little turds everywhere.

I found this guy under a pot taking a nap. Northern Brown snake?

An almost 2" long little lizard hung out at my work area all day long. Cleaning up all the little bugs around my clippings.

Tons of wild rabbits around here too. The little bastards like to eat the sedums in my front flower bed. They keep em mowed down pretty good. Last year they ate my cantaloupe plants too.

Yea, I have some cages to put around young tender plants until they get big enough that they don’t get mowed down.

We used to have a lot of rabbits here too, until a hawk moved into a big oak tree in the yard.
