Around 10am this morning we were ready to go out the front door shopping and two deer were feeding on oak leaves at the edge of the street. Now, these deer showed up about two weeks ago, and started to wipe out my flower beds, so soap shavings applied every few nights has held them in bay.
But now even with the grass be cut next door and other suburbia noises in the neighborhood, nothing seems to be stopping these daytime deer from browsing on our flowers.
We were eating lunch just before 1 today and in my backyard there was this one doe eating my neighbors flowers she has around her bird bath. I snapped two photos of her as she crossed my property heading towards the stream.
You would think with all the growth in the woods they would not venture into yards in the middle of the day, but I guess they have adapted over the years and found cultivated gardens and flower beds to their liking.
Oh, I have lived here since 1972 and I believe I never even saw a deer on my property until the late 1980's. Now, they are common and nothing really has changed much development wise, so it just must be they saw greener grass.
