Attack of the Herbivores


I took a tour around the yard this morning and I've been raided again. The deer have been through and nibbled off all the flowers on the hosta, the buds on the tall phlox, and assorted other stuff. I also have a big population of rabbits this year. It must have been a good year for rabbit reproduction and a bad year for foxes, hawks, etc. There are a lot of big rabbits around and some really cute little ones. They're eating the hosta leaves, the impatiens in pots, some ferns and assorted other low growing stuff. They do serve a purpose by giving the cat exercise. She burns up calories running from window to window watching them.
