As can be seen from the picture above, we have very little grass in our yard.
As can also be seen from the picture above, we have 3 hungry critters doing their best to destroy what little grass we have.
Normally, I have no problem co-existing with the wildlife out here. And by normally, I mean I am almost always angry with the wildlife.
Porcupines
They kill our trees by eating the bark, and then celebrate their coniferous murders by engaging in very loud…activities on our front lawn at all hours of the night.
Horseflies
They pick up your arm so their 20 friends can chew it apart.
Bunnies
They massacre my sunflower seedlings, removing all joy from my life.
Deer
And now, we have the deer. Before this year, I could count on one hand how many times I have seen a deer in our yard. This month alone, we have seen more deer than all those other times combined.
My poor hostas don’t stand a chance. I’ll bet that’s why they haven’t poked out of the ground yet…they can sense a predator is nearby.
