Deer in the Garden

Got home last night in the midst of a severe thunderstorm. Mac, our English Shepherd, was nowhere to be found. Yesterday morning, Mac had blown through our "Dog Watch" fence chasing two deer, and, evidently, they had come back to scope out the property again. So, in the midst of a tornado warning, I went out with a flashlight looking for my dog. Within 10 minutes, he finally arrived, terrified of the storm and covered with burrs.

This morning, I came downstairs to the kitchen. Looking out through the French doors, what do I see? Two deer, one by my bird feeder, and one within 15 feet of my kitchen door - eyeing the herb garden! They are either very bold creatures, or very stupid. Mac hit the door, and chased them away. This time, he was aware of the fence and stopped before being zapped.

We enjoyed a benefit concert, last night, for a fine arts center here in the county. It was the initial concert for both a local "wannabe" regional symphony and a local chorus. The concert was NOT well attended, but a promising start for a group promoting the arts.
