Maybe it's my deerful obligation.

I have mixed feelings over the loss of the bulky leaves on by hosta plants. They've been disappearing plant by plant by plant. I was too dumb to know why. So I brought in a horticulture expert friend. He closely examined the scene. Like a Sherlock Holmes. And pointed to the deer hoove prints around all the plants. Yes, it was that simple. The deer are invading my yard. To feast. On my hosta plants. I'm told I could stop the deer by using a spray that offends the deer's nostrils. Keeps 'em away. But I'm not sure I wanna do that. Maybe I owe it to the deer. To provide them with tasty treats. --Jim Broede
