| "Butch" |
I began by putting a new deerfly patch on the back of my cap.
They really do work. Not perfectly, but enough for one to get some work done.
I'd offer some to Bambi, but they don't seem inclined or too much bothered.

| Fred groundhog |
My veggie garden I've had limited success with, so far. Butch raccoon, Labbit, or Fred groundhog have been terrible. One or the other, or all three, have been in the garden. I really must put up some chicken wire, but the picket fence is charming.
They don't just nibble, although they do that, too. They pull up the entire plant, roots and all. That makes me think it is Butch, with her opposable thumbs. Next, it will be the split-leaf beetles laying eggs.

| Daisy, my faithful helper |
I had helpers, despite the bugs. Daisy follows me all day.
I staked and put up barriers from the critters. Probably it won't do me any good. We shall see.

It does not sound like a lazy day to me! i like the deer fly strip on the hat. They don't bother me in my yard, but taking my walk--Ach!
Sounds like a busy day to me. Gardening can be a full time job. I love the wildlife shots.
I think those are great distractions. Lovely photos!
Have a nice week.
Some critters can just outright beat us. One jack rabbit can eat a lot of garden at one go.
That, my dear, is definitely NOT a lazy day. But it was a great one and I enjoyed sharing it.
