Last evening Ron and I went down to the garden to close up the raised beds and what to our wondering eyes did appear- but 3 beautiful does. They were not at all afraid of us -they seemed to have checked us out - and deciding we were no threat, they just kept on munching the leaves, grass, and plants, of our neighbors yard. The mother is the ring leader, she came right up to the fence and showed those big brown doe eyes to us while she wiggled her big ears. At one point I thought she was just going to jump right over the fence and into our yard -like 5 feet from us. Ron and I stood there watching them and talking to them for at least 5 minutes-they did not talk back –of course. They were on their way home, back into the woods.
This is why we have our raised vegetable beds covered with mesh and row cover. If we did not it would be a fabulous all you can eat salad buffet for the 3 does.
Hoping to post a picture of the 3 does. But -it might not happen as we are putting up an 8 foot deer fence this weekend.
