Lawns and flowers

Ours is pretty brown, but it will come back. I have no problems with lawns. Neither does our resident doe. I photographed her eating some leaves off of the horse chestnut tree.

I went out later, and realized that the beautiful lilies, about to blossom, had been nipped in the bud. 


The lily on the left, chopped right off! I hope she enjoyed it!
Lots of swallowtails, and I think I saw a monarch, too. Fingers crossed.

Hubby walks in town, and managed a photo of a muskrat!


I've been watching the birds, too. This was a mother/daughter thing, I think! I could only grab a photo of the feed once, and a bad photo at that.

Down in the forest, this little one doing a selfie!

I spotted this photo on Twitter. I enjoyed his garden!

    I really enjoyed this post with all the activity around you. Loss of the lilies seems a small price to pay although it would have definitely made me sad all the same.

    I am not bothering with our tiny bit of lawn that remains.

    I enjoyed my tea out on the back porch early this morning. The scent of the milkweed is heady. Attracting several butterflies and hummingbirds. Swallowtails, Admirals and MONARCHS!

    Such a shame about the lily, hope she had indigestion!!! The lawn will grow again, meantime less to mow.

    Deer think they're God's gift to the pruning technology.

    Jenn - it never fails that the deer chomp on the things we value most. My goal is to have so much that I won't miss one or two. I have noticed a dramatic increase in chirping in our trees; it is definitely the young 'uns begging for food! Enjoy the rest of your week!
