Across the street (can you tell he works in landscaping?)
Our house (can you tell we don't?)
The back of our house...can you see it?
We were feeling especially warm and fuzzy about the great outdoors because of this flower bed we had planted the night before. Beautiful, no?
The day after mom left I came outside for our walk to find our beautiful flower bed DESTROYED! Along with the remains of the peaceable plants, I found incriminating hoof prints all over the place. We unwittingly planted deer candy! The scene is so grisly I can't even bring myself to post a picture.
I'd like to warn all the deer that live in our neighborhood, yeah you! I'm actively searching out the foulest tasting plants around, so our house won't be a candy shop for long.
To our readers: any suggestions? (Insert maniacal laugh here.) Broah ha ha ha!

At least we got pictures of it before it was destroyed.
We'll have to look up plants that are "deer medicine".... Hopefully there are some that just taste really yukky to them. The dude across the street will probably know.
Love, Mom
How horrible!
Good idea - ask the landscaper across the road about it! I know - maybe a salt lick in the back yard would keep them away from your front yard! jk
AHHHHHHHHH!!! That IS HORRIBLE!!! I totally feel for you! Yikies! Darn blasted Deer, they are quite the nusiance(sp?) for sure, not like cute Bambi huh? Umm, build a giant 10-12 foot fence might help :] heeee. Or get a dog and tie him up out there. Oh actually put your scent out there, like your hair-you can collect your hair and put it in like a mesh baggie (like part of an old pany-hose) and of course hide it in the plants but I think that's supposed to help. We've done that before w/ our hair and our pets hair-like from brushes. I know this is sounding really funny, but you never know it might work. Or some strong herbs might do the trick, I know bugs usually don't eat them, so mabye deer wouldn't either. hmm, hmm, hmm? I'd talk to the landscaper too sense those are GA deer, Montana deer could be a bit different. I'll ask my mom and dad :] They might be some help on the internet too. That's soooo awful, after all of your hard work, decisions, and money, and excitement-grrrrrr!!! Don't worry I'm still failing w/ some of my flowers and vegetables in my garden, you just never know! Good luck again! Don't give up, don't let them get you down! Fight back! Oh ya, a shotgun is a good choice too :] heeheeheheheheh
Love, the country farm girl, chelsea
Oh yeah!
What about MothBalls!!!! They stink horribly and might work, yuck!
Oh and your walk looks super refreshing and beautiful, so peaceful and nice. What a beautiful way to start the day-good for you guys!!!
Love, Chelsea
I would choose Deer over Racoons any day! At least the deer stay outside. Every day that I lived in that apartment and would hear the ominous scratching around the hole in my ceiling I would repeat my emergency escape plan in my head..."if a racoon comes into the apartment...GRAB THE BABY AND RUN, JUST GRAB THE BABY AND RUN!!!"
