I have a fuzzy trail cam clip but I don’t have the energy to fix it up to post right this second.
The deer returned.
I saw their hoof-prints and turd-piles so I knew they had been through.
I looked over the apple and pear trees and initially thought they looked okay. Just a few nibbles. But after I saw the clips I took a closer look and realized that the fruit buds are gone. There are maybe 2 apple and a few pear left. They didn’t damage the new trees because they are too new and have nothing on them except tiny leaf buds.
Also, there is one new blueberry out in the front of the house that is missing all the buds.
The bird feeders are down. There is no intentional food for them out there. I’m super bummed. It seems like the solution is deer fencing but I’m not sure how that is going to work in our yard. I don’t want to turn it into an obstacle course.
I just want a happy place where fruit trees and wildlife can live together in peace but I will get the fruit.
This is from the Orleans trip. This is Summer wading through a giant puddle.
Mom wanted me to drive through this puddle.
I told her no, I have a city car. It doesn’t go through lakes of mud.
