Death To Bambi...
Ok, maybe that statement is a little harsh... HOWEVER... Let me be PERFECTLY clear on this point! I have given up on my romantic ideas about the sweetness of looking out the windows of our home and spotting a lovely doe happily munching on the grass in our back yard. You see... I have accepted the truth!! What this pastoral sight REALLY means is the moment the sun goes down, this Innocent looking creature will collect 20 of her closest (and hungriest) friends and proceed to happily dine on each and every flower of choice in our yard.
No matter that I have just paid a big chunk of money to purchase happy flowers to grace the exterior of our home. No matter that I have planted, weeded and mulched the beds to give these said flowers a wonderful growing environment. No matter that these beds are right up NEXT to the house AND I leave the porch lights on all night to expose any creature that may have notions of dining on this colorful array. No... these things to not matter to Bambi!!

Diane, I got a giggle out of this post. I feel your pain. Last year we didn't get a single tomato out of our garden, even though we saw blossoms! Each night the deer would sneak into the garden, and help themselves to the new flowers!
Ooops, sorry. This is Tracy at Unless the Lord, I didn't realize that I was signed in as my son!
Haha...I love how that incorrigible creature in the picture is sticking his tongue out in mockery! I'm not laughing at your pain, though.
Oh no!! I'm so sorry--but I'm laughing too because the way you wrote it was funny! Of course your eaten flowers are not funny!
I, too, liked the picture of the deer sticking it's tongue out! (o;
After what Bambi did to our minivan that Halloween night several years ago.... I'll help you pay for the bullets.
LOL, thank you ladies for your sympathy! I feel better now. So Tracy, did you try tomatoes again this year??? Mrs B. & Erin, I also got a kick out of the photo when I saw it. The picture fits the attitude of our local deer quite nicely!! :-) Renee... I remember that sad occurrence!! Thanks for visiting! Diane
It's still too early for tomatoes yet, but yes, we will try them again this year. We'll just put them VERY close to our outside dog, and hope that he scares the deer off!
