Deer Loving Roses Older trees make this particular part of town feel nearly like country ~ seems our neighbors respect that. All are quiet, insightful when our red-tail hawk visits making the ground hunting priority for after all, squirrels are well fed just to keep nature alive. Deer silently run our streets so we drive slower honored to see several doe out for a stroll; now and again a winsome curious fawn crossing the lawn, peers from beneath mother’s belly. Early October days fed our faces with a warm late sun enough to feel like spring giving reason for roses to rise for one last blooming. Days ago ’twas captured one sweet pink giving scent to indoor splendor ~ then eyes watched as the last of season’s buds began to swell… by dawn the very same pink buds were notably nipped neatly by hungry teeth, a lean ribbed deer needing such a lasting sweet taste of summer. It’s rather nice, knowing we provide sugar for the teat. It began snowing just this afternoon; hoping the last buds of rose will soon feed again. We’ll know by the deer tracks in the snow. © KRJ 10-10-09 |

Nice write but in the real not so happy situation.I have planted three tiny rose flowering bushes. The deer are feeding on them constantly. Cheynne pepper, garlic and other devices do nothing. They come by night and feed in the dark. They also eat the Hibicus.I have a beautful soft peach colored double flowering and a pink one. But lose the flowers to the same neat eaters.I never see any thing else steped on or mangled. How can they be so dainty and yet eat among the other flowering bushes? I love the beautiful little deer we have here but I also love the flowers. I am afraid these bushes will die and I will have to replace with something the deer do not eat. a n animallover but????? jo |

Sunshine, it is always good to read your work. Deer are beautiful creatures. I use to see them, when I lived in the country. I sure miss living in the country. |
