Hi Christine, RE: The Scarecrow Sprinkler

It all got started with this guy .Thumb of 2011-04-07/dormantsrule/4a344d
and his merry band of 3 relatives which have hanging out for here for 3 years. I have 150 daylilies which they have always left alone, so everything was fine with the rabbits being squatters. Usually for some reason they would hang around the car in the late afternoon.

When they took up residence sunning themselves where the mulch is by the heux

is when I decided to buy the scarecrow motion detector sprinkler from Amazon.


The ss works well but the only thing that got wet for the first 2 weeks was me. I kept forgetting it was there or to shut it off when I was out. The 2nd weekend I had it there was no reason to go out back as it rained the whole weekend. Monday morning around 6:15 I'm dressed in a suit and heels for work and go prancing out back just for a peek at any dl's that might have opened and got blasted. That's when some four letter words came flying out as I was pulling the ss out of the ground. I look up and my elderly neighbor who was filling her bird feeders is looking over. And I know just what she was thinking; here she goes again... This happened about a month after a 5,000 foot black snake crawled out while I was weeding the heux bed. I screamed so loud someone called the police. Like I said before, it's cheap entertainment here.
