    Sorry about your lillies @MissMay
    So much work and love put into the garden.

    The food portion of my garden (my backyard) is fenced now. The one exception is a long planter that I keep on my my front porch railing with hot peppers in it. I had it in the same spot for 14 years and the Deer never touched it, but last year they tried them, then came back repeatedly and ate them all!! I hope that they had painful poops the *kitten*.

    Ours are Town Deer born and raised.

    "Less Alcohol - MORE PETS"
    Love the pet photos. Oh my gosh, I have super cat allergies. So that is why I am a canine owner. BUT everyones cats are so darn adorable. That side photo of Denver is precious with the front paws sticking out below, like a kitty yoga move!

    Thanks for the tips on how to keep the deer from destroying my gardens. There, as we know, is only one way to get rid of them. That will come this Fall with bow hunting from a group of friends that hunt. If I could put out deer contraceptives I would, or perhaps give them some of that wine that pairs well with venison as @forestdweller1 mentioned and then while they are passed out have them relocated to another state. It was cute at fisrt four years ago when I had my first sighting in 12 years since owning this property. Then, each year it has doubled or tripled many of them having twins or even three fawns. I have close to 5 acres, so fences are not an option.

    0 drinks/7 days.....I used to have a nice forested lot without any fencing and experienced the elk herds in my yard. I think they slept there at night. They used to keep the property nicely manicured since they ate most everything but the pine trees and one rosemary bush. The downside was the endless POOP....I don't miss that!

    @Doxmum
    I can't find that link to the doctor in Texas telling it like it is. Could you repost it please?
    I did read it all of the way through, I would like to share it.

    @shorepine I am so relieved the test came back negative! Woot!


    @dawnbgethealthy It only took one surprise visitor from out of state to infect 3 households. Unintentional, of course, but a good reminder for us all to be intentional in our actions in the COVID arena as well as other actions we take on the daily. Be careful out there!

    And did those 3 households unintentionally infect others? That is the sneakiness of this virus, no symptoms for up to 2 weeks. Such a super spreader.

    I am close to the border and most of my friends live in North Idaho. Although I miss them so much (and the kayaking trips we take out of Bonner's Ferry especially), I am really glad that the US/Canada border is closed. It is just rampant in the USA and seems like every day gets worse. Terrifying.

    @shorepine Stupid COVID. So ready for it to be gone. Learned this week my mom, step-dad, sister, bro-n-law and 2 nieces are positive and they are now experiencing symptoms. Wish I could help them somehow, especially my folks who are 81 and 93 y.o. Sure hope your family tests negative. 🙏please keep us posted.

    I'm so sorry for your family. That is terrible. <3
