My theme this week is Phlox and naughty deer. You see, I have both! I love my Phlox, and when they start a blooming I think it's the prettiest time of year! I also have deer here at Applestone Cottage and I mean LOTS of deer. I have always loved deer, but lately they have been getting under my skin. We have quite a few near blooming apple trees, and heck, I don't mind sharing, but I want them to wait until the apples are ripe!
But first ,my Phlox! I can't take all the credit because the previous owner had planted these but I am their caretaker now!
An up close pretty view.
Oh yes, I can sit at my dining room table and just enjoy the view! Come back on Thursday for my Phlox centered tablescape! And now, on to those naughty deer!
Here's the gang! Every morning and every evening they are here; they think they own the place! I yell," go away deer, go away deer" but it's no use! I run out my door and yell at them, but.......
Here's their ring leader. He snorts, he stomps his hooves and he is growing horns! I tell him to just wait a little longer, but no, he won't hear of it! ( sometimes I throw a tin can at him but he doesn't care)
The naughty do-er!! The nerve of him, just helping himself right out of my tree! They don't call the county I live in, the deer capital of Wisconsin for nothing! I am joining my good friend Chari, for Sunday Favorites!I thought this post from last summer was fitting since the deer are everywhere this time of year. They love to sneak up to my garden and snack on my pretty flowers...
