I'm imagining that some buyers would be charmed by the story, but the realtor's photos would have a hard time catching those crafty night-time visitors.<br />I surprised three biking home last night about 9:30. They froze on the dirt road in front of me, before bounding off into the dark.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-1626097030436271142011-10-05T08:41:06.528-07:002011-10-05T08:41:06.528-07:00Beautiful buck.

My own deer decided that the wee hours of Tuesday morning were the perfect time to devour the plantings around the front door of my house, just hours before the photographer showed up. Thankfully she said it didn't matter, the photos were good.<br /><br />I do love the buzzing of the bees, and even the scampering of the chipmunks.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-6728841642825545352011-10-03T11:33:32.583-07:002011-10-03T11:33:32.583-07:00Lisa: Yes, he was a handsome fellow.

Having a happy buzz of bees in my garden makes me feel I'm doing something right. The world is better with bees in it.<br />Hostess: I doubt one would ever hazard our deck stairs, but under the right conditions, they seem pretty bold. . . <br />Pseu: We have does and their fawns regularly as well -- in fact, this guy probably was one of those fawns not long ago.<br />Susan: We do have a fairly effective fence around most of the yard, but they come up from the beach to the waterfront part of the yard, so we're just resigned to sharing.
