Bezzo,

Not this time but neighbors cast lots of curious glances and I got waved at by a lot more than normally do.  When I did the two equal sized sea mats a few years ago one neighbor eventually did come over and ask what I was up to.  Might have been more interest if it hadn't been so hot!  104 degrees Fahrenheit is hot.

The snake, that is Snively and he guards the patio from rodents - and quite effectively, too.  Might keep some of the two legged varmints away as well.   ;)

It's... cyclopean. o_o I envy the mat, but not the work that had to go into it. ;)

(What type of snake is Snively?)

I enjoy creative effort - that isn't work to me (though the heat was a challenge).

Snively is a Halloween decoration snake I move around from time to time, seems to do the trick.

No wonder Snively's been so mean lately - he's been missing his bro!   lol

Bezzo, is that a decoration snake or a photo of a real one?
