Hello,
Just a short note before I ride my bike
to work. I am counting on the prediction of 40% chance of rain to be slight.
We had a wonderful overnight visit
with our invited MN friends. We talked almost nonstop, laughed, and shared. It was
an uplifting time indeed. What would the world be like without friends? Rather
dim and dull. Getting from one day to the next would be a plodding affair.
This morning I went out early to water
the plants. The lilies had buds bitten off. And the broccoli plant was
seriously diminished. My friend who has experience with this type of scavenging
pronounced it deer. I have never seen a deer around here, but who knows who
visits under the cover of darkness. This is certainly done by something taller
than a rabbit and not invited by me. Perhaps the netting needs to go back up
and be a little taller if we can manage. It seemed the leaves where being stifled
by the net as they stretched up to gather the sun to their souls. So we took it
off hoping the marauders were small and done eating.
I like to see the deer, but we can
quickly change our relationship depending on how they browse. Feelings of
admiration turn to aversion in a munch.
Paula
