Crumbly Acres deer fence

We've still got at least one pregnant doe!

Joe helped me put the deer fence up. I used my dad's heavy mallet to punch the stakes into the ground. I use the staple gun to attach the netting to the wooden stakes. Note to self: wrap it up differently next year. It was tough to untangle.

I spotted it at Lee Valley Tools and snapped it up. They warn that deer can't see it at night. Thing is, we have three deer that have been visiting, and they will see it in the day. 

It's a great fence, and necessary if I want to see any lilies in bloom. I learned that lesson. It is simply netting attached to tall wooden stakes. 

You can see the fence in the night but not so much in the day. It's been wonderful. People often complain about the deer, but we moved into their territory, and planted yummy flowers. 

Barely noticeable mesh! 

Can you see red squirrel?!  I've put all the bird feeders away. It is time. I don't need to attract Butch Raccoon or Junior Bear. Then, there are the ubiquitous Grackles, Red-wings, and all.

This is a plant I found on the other side of the driveway. I don't maintain that garden anymore. iPhoto says it is Japanese Quince, or some thing!

People have mentioned this 150th Anniversary of Canada tulips. They don't always keep their colours. This one has survived. I usually plant in clumps, so its siblings are gone! 

I've another video of Winnifred and her kit. Yes, more names will be required. This one is a hoot as Momma grabs the kit on the hind end and drags it into the burrow!
