🥫🍌🍊Groceries: Red wrote about doing groceries! Well, more about NOT doing them! I used to do groceries. When I became pregnant with Caitlin (1979), I could no longer tolerate the smell of coffee! The grocery store made me want to throw up. My first accountant husband took up the cause. As a single mom, in 1993, I had to do it all over again. Fast forward to 2005, when my second accountant husband JB retired, he took up the cause. I didn't really take it back! When he had surgery in 2014, I had to do it. No problem. He took it back from me when he recovered! COVID made things simpler. When we needed groceries I would do an online order. It was great. JB usually does it once a day, these days.
Anyway, the garden. How glorious!
The birds out front have been amazing. Red-eyed vireos, and goldfinches in the horse chestnut tree.
I found blonde Butch in the back. They are around infrequently.

She ran off when she saw me. Camera shy, perhaps!

Peonies!
Poppies!
We had front yard visitors, to make my point. The bucks are unusual in the front yard. They must be frequent visitors.

...yep, it peony and poppy time!
Shopping daily must be a little outing for a retiree.
Rain is good news. Keep getting some more!
Great critter photos today! Glad you got an inch of rain. That buck sure did like your hosta which you left outside the fence for him. The flowers are so pretty, and maybe you've foiled the deer with that new fencing plan...I couldn't see what it was made of, just the tall stakes. It's working, which is what counts.
I love peonies, but when I had a bush it seemed like just after the blooms opened there would be a heavy rain that would knock the petals off.
Poppies are so cheerful to see.
Lovely videos!
Also the snake is very pretty.
My hubby does all the shopping these days. He thanks his mother as she was always sending her boys out for something. So I thank her too as he genuinely enjoys shopping. Pretty flowers and lovely nature photos. I had another good time looking at all your photos and videos. Thanks Jenn!
How I wish I could grow peonies successfully. It is the sulphur crested cockatoos that destroy bits of our garden. They did up my spring bulbs and often behead and shred any that flower.
We have mostly mule deer here with the big ears. I can't get used to the white tailed deer with the small ears.
You have healthy looking deer! All that good food, I do not have Tiger Lilies anymore the deer eat them right away:( Stay cool!
I love your flowers, the deer, the raccoon, and your hostas. I hate buying groceries, but I do it or I will starve.
Your garden looks great, except for the snake! Love the deer -- and the poppies!
