Unexpected visitors
Imagine my surprise when I walked out on the screen porch and saw these two nibbling at my neighbors shrubbery. The photos aren't great. I might have done better, I was being very stealthy, but I managed to walk through a spider web and in the 30 seconds I spent freaking out and checking to see if I had a spider on me, the deer noticed and took off. Still, for me, this counts as excitement, which is just about as much as I can take on this 100 degree day. Geez, but the air is unbreathable out there. I'm thinking I should put out a tub of water for the birds. They're looking really parched, hopping around the yard panting, with their little beaks open.
