So, after living with the deer in our neighborhood and their habits...http://withoutwords-tracy.blogspot.com/2008/09/reason-to-like-skunks.html. We are finally going to build a fence this spring! Actually, we will have someone build it, but we will choose the fence :)
I have truly enjoyed watching sweet little "bambi~fawns" in our backyard. Although, after the group that ran right past DH & the girls who were playing in our very small backyard, I became less happy about our proximity to "our deer-friends." ***I should say that I grew up in "the country," and never had as many deer in our yard as we have in the city!
More recently, there was the group that ran across the highway, hitting DH's car right in front our van (driven by me) this fall. Now, there are deer eating my precious hibiscus~my birthday gift! I think this has become a very dysfunctional relationship with the deer~so time to build a fence. (I thought we could maybe move and not leave a forwarding address, but that's not a very mature solution~right? And I am pretty sure that they are deer everywhere...)
I think that after placing some boundaries into our relationship, I will grow to love the deer again. *provided they respect the boundaries...
I am really looking forward to gardening without the deer-threat this year. Hopefully, the neighborhood cat will respect the fence. Although, I expect we will be seeing him anyway~he is a cat, after all...
Maybe I will post photos of the fence~I know my few readers will find it as thrilling as I do :o)
Hopefully, I will have other things to write about and the time to do so soon'ish...
