Just as I got in bed the other night I remembered that I hadn't set out the carts for pick up. The Micro Manager said we'll be awake in the morning and put them out. The trucks usually pick up about 7:15 AM.
We happened to wake up about 5:15 AM so I decided to go out then.
I stumbled out with my jacket on. What a surprise when I got in my back yard and found that I had visitors. Two very large bucks were standing in my yard. Usually they run and get out of the country. These two beggars just stood there and looked at me. They sneered. I yelled at them. They moved two steps. I stepped towards them and them decided to leave. They went as far as the street and stopped looking back. I know what they ware thinking. "He'll go back in the house and we'll go back in the yard.
They finally decided to leave.
the next day I thought I'd see how much they like tomatoes. They ate about 25 % of the fruit.
Was I mad?
I think my friend Bill Franz sent them down from his place.
I thought afterwards that mule deer bucks have been known to charge humans. I didn't think about that as I tried to shoo them out of my yard.
They must not like tomatoes a whole bunch.
ReplyDeleteIf I saw a deer in my yard, I might also forget he could be dangerous
ReplyDeleteOh dear. 25% of your tomatoes? I would be mad even though it would not do me a bit of good. It also would not bother the bucks one whit.
ReplyDeleteI've found deer will eat about anything in a garden if given the chance but they do have a pecking order. Tomatoes are down the list aways. Pepper plants are at the bottom, at least in my garden.
ReplyDeleteTwo bucks came calling before daylight,
ReplyDeleteAnd gave poor Red a bit of a fright.
They ate his tomatoes, then wandered away—
Seems Bill sent them down for a breakfast buffet! 🤣
You should be more careful, Red!
ReplyDeleteMy brother lost much of his corn this year because of deer raiding his city garden plot. That's never happened before in all his years there.
That reminds me, I must get dressed and run the garbage out! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh Deer! I would be very unhappy to lose my tomato crop.
