Fawn and deer buffet

 As we were eating our lunch on the balcony yesterday, a doe and her fawn came through our back garden, and, of course, I did not have my camera.  He/she was just like Bambi, spots on the brown fur on its back and a bit wobbly on its legs.  So cute.   But they are only cute when they go through the yard, but they have a habit of stopping and partaking of the flowers in the gardens.  They love the tender blossoms of  the day lillies, and the leaves and flowers of the hosta.   Even noticed some flowers on the phlox are missing.   We made sure our tomatoes plants are well protected on the patio, with wind chimes hanging on a line to which we attached sheets at night time.  So far, so good.  Keeping our fingers crossed as we have a bumper crop of tomatoes forming. Tomatoes are not on the buffet for deer. 

 Then the two turkeys came wandering through.   Today, only a few birds, nothing too interesting.

We have a mixed bag of weather, it had rained early in the day, now there is some sun and big clouds, soome looking full of rain, but they seem to be going by with no rain on us.  It is humid too, so almost thankful for the clouds, as it would be uncomfortable with the full sun shining.

Got my car back from the garage yesterday, all fixed with a big chunk of $$$$'s out of my bank account, but like Hubby said, it is cheaper than buying a new car.  But, if it continues to have breakdowns,  I will be looking for another.

Hubby is out cutting the lawn across the street, he was not able to get that done when he did ours a few days ago. After writing this I will be heading out to do some weeding before they all get ahead of me.

Dinner tonight, BBQ steak, mushrooms, baked potato and we have some strawberries left for dessert.

  1. Awwww... I love wildlife. Truly gifts from God in my book. xoxo Cars... a necessary evil. We keep fixing the old ones we have cos as your husband said, it's a lot cheaper than buying a new one... no matter what the bill costs. Cars are insanely expensive today, even used ones. I refuse, by gawd!! :-) ~Andrea xoxoxo

  2. I feel the same way about the sun staying behind clouds, when it is humid. It would be way worse, if sun came out tooooo.

    Ouch to the $$$ for car repairs. Hope it stays fine now. Like I said, new cars are scarce and cost more, due to a chip scarcity. And even 2nd hand ones are very expensive.
