Weekly Photo Challenge: Dreaming
I wonder.
If they do, this would be one of the things they dream about at my house – the last rose they haven’t yet managed to reach to devour. It grows out over a raised flower bed, which makes it just a little difficult for them to get to. That’s why I still have one. At least tonight I have one. Tomorrow maybe I’ll find that deer dreams DO come true.

Two days later . . . still there! But the clematis is gone. Either they changed their dream food, or the clematis was within easier reach.

They’re insatiable! We spray ours with a predator scent from the hardware store to keep them away!

I’ve tried sprays, and a bag of dead-thing to put out, and hair, and other stuff. These guys are gluttons – nothing stops ’em! I heard about some stuff you get online called “Not Tonight Deer” and I’m seriously considering that. What is the scent you use? Maybe I’ll try that first before ordering online.

that’s the reason we have been working this summer to raise a fence on our back lot…we planted a row of Poplar trees…we wanted to create a “deer free zone” next up…a row of rose bushes next year….the deer have already walked by on the other side of the fence stop by for some “dreaming.” 🙂

hubby got one over on the deer the other day and picked the last rose before they got it. He put it in a vase for me so I could enjoy it. 🙂

good job! It’s not often easy to beat the deer! They get to work 24/7 and we have to sleep! 😦

yah…well…they were working overtime last night. 😦 My beautiful flowering vine had FINALLY gotten new blooms (they’re in one of my posts on theREmissionary), and this morning the blooms were gone, plus almost the entire plant. *sigh*

*sigh* if only little Spencer were more ferocious. But alas, that is not to be. He just wants to play with them, and they just ignore him, or threaten him with bodily harm. Guess I’ll have to come up with another deterrent.

I can relate….the black lab we used to have would chase a cat, mouse, another dog…..but he would lay down and invite the deer to relax and join him….:(
