From 2-4:00 pm our daily deer visitors like to nap in the safety of our backyard. Yes, they eat our plants, but this dry summer has been rough on them.

As I saw this I was literally already wondering if the two enormous bucks with fully grown antlers will again—as they have the last 3 nights— use our old and broken fence as a ladder (and punching bag it sometimes sounds like) to access our unused grapevines and our old non-bearing pear tree. That’s cool, but I am not keen on a leap over the fence from those big dudes. We’re still hoping to get our tomatoes to ripen.
And our dog (a popular hunting & pet breed) thinks she is much mightier than she is. Last time she confronted them was when both she and my husband were surprised by a buck in our yard at dusk. She stood up on her hind legs between my husband and the buck and barked her heart out. She hadn’t done that before and hasn’t since. The buck bailed back over the fence, thankfully.
Adorable and peaceful pics!

What a sweet gift to be able to see. They like your safe haven.
