Since everybody was complaining about wanting to hurl the last couple of days with the sunbathing chickens, we are going to take a detour through Pretty today.
Up first is the Lone Sweetpea. I planted a nice long row of sweetpeas along the fence behind the kitchen, so that we would have a beautiful view from the sink. Unfortunately, the crows came and nibbled all the plants to the ground, so I stopped watering them and gave up on them for this year. Until yesterday, when I noticed this one lonely bloom that managed to survive. It’s in a teeny tiny Mommy Vase from Purple Petunia.
This mama and baby were in our front yard this morning. The fawns are getting bigger and bolder lately and not afraid to stick around and say “hey” to us.
Mama still keeps a close eye on things, though.
So there you have it. No dead gophers, no faux-dead chickens, no assclowns.Now let’s hum a few choruses of Kumbaya.
See you tomorrow back in Ugly World.

Amazing pictures, taking time working my way round your new home…Looking good!!!
So, let me see if I understand…… yesterday you ACCIDENTALLY showed us photos of the chicken carnage…..and today we are seeing photos of DEER. Verrry Interesting…and you mentioned KUMBYJA (or however you spell it) to throw us off the track.
I think you have disposed of the victims from your diabolic killing spree and are now in the process of gathering a herd of deer together for that fancy new building…..
You can run girly, but you cannot hide your foul (he he…I said foul) deeds forever.
That sure is a cute little baby. Thanks for the warm fuzzies.
Ohhh deer! You’r not going to shock us all later by showing us pictures of them dead, are you?
I love deer. . . that is until I see their faces RIGHT in my windshield as I ALMOST hit them.
I have been with drivers who have not been so lucky and deer don’t look so pretty on your car grill either:(
Let’s stick with the upright and alive version!
I like the others cannot help but wonder when we will hear about the deer becoming worse than the turkeys followes by a trade in on the little red rider followed by hunter safety courses provided by Bubba Jo followed by Bambi on your wall. But maybe thats just cuz I live with a hunter….. maybe.
I want more chicken pictures! (I have chicken envy).
AWWW!
Hey–I’ll take purty wherever I can get it!
deer eat anything, including sweetpeas, so keep your plants in the henhouse or someplace safe.
or trade the daisy for a remington model 700.
No, no, no, we don’t shoot at the deer! We LIKE the deer. We like most of the wild critters. The only ones on the Bad List (so far) are gophers, moles, ground squirrels and turkeys. And the turkeys don’t even get the death sentence, just a little sting on the butt.
The deer do like flowers and such, but not after the plants are sprayed with Not Tonight, Deer. I swear, there are a million things that are supposed to keep deer from eating things, but this one really works. It smells awful, but after it dries you can’t smell it, but I guess the deer can. After a while, they avoid the plants that got sprayed, even if you forget to spray them.
Bob, I have always pictured Dad seeing the deer photos and talking about visiting with his deer rifle. Not that he really would, but he would love to tease me about it.
I think you are secretly lulling the deer with the sweet peas. I think they have future as venison. I hope not, because I don’t eat that, I’m just saying.
Ooooooh Karen, why must you pretend not to love venison?
