Damn Deer

So - they just couldn't play nice - the nibbling bastards...

The deer have eaten the terninal buds off of every tree in my yard that was shorter than say 6 feet. That means every volunteer tree, the maple, oaks, green ash, alder, and tulip poplar are now all screwed up! And of course every terminal bud they could reach in the Orchard. I should not be shocked and hurt but I am. Why can't the deer play nice.

You know what it probably is? It is the highway they are putting in a mile from here... all those trees and all that deer shelter gone. It is driving them into my backyard.

No more bragging to the neighbors about all my free trees! Urg!

Atleast the deer can not stop our rock harvesting. We search every evening for more roocks to line our front garden with. We still have our free rocks to get excited about... until the fire ants move in on that one.

Take care - eat venison.
