I went outside this morning and a group of 9 deer was just finishing up their breakfast of almost-ready- to-bloom tulips from my freshly weeded flower bed!!! I'm so mad at them! The war between me and the deer is starting all ready......
You against deer. hmmm... Doesn't sound fun! The button on my blog is on the right hand side at the top. To get a button from Becki and Jeremy's site scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. You can add it by adding a gadget --third party functionality. Or something like that. Thanks!
I feel your pain! For the last few years something has eaten my yellow crocuses (croci???) only the yellow ones, not the purple ones, wierd huh?
I once heard that if you sprinkle a little human hair around your garden it will keep the deer away. I haven't checked this on Snopes or anything but it might be worth it to save those clippings on the next hair cutting day.
"'Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.' We have heard that many times. What is also the price of freedom is the toleration of imperfections. If everything that is wrong with the world becomes a reason to turn more power over to some political savior, then freedom is going to erode away.... If you think government should 'do something' about anything that ticks you off, or anything you want and don't have, then you have made your choice between Utopia and freedom." --economist Thomas Sowell
I am a homeschooling mother of 6 children, happily married to 1 handy husband.
I like to garden, read, be outdoors, play the piano, sew quilts when I have chance, and enjoy beautiful places in Idaho.
I also enjoy homeschooling with my kids. My homeschooling method is an eclectic combination of the Charlotte Mason method, and the Well-Trained Mind approach. History, Geography, Art and Reading are our favorite subjects.
~ If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

The home is the first and most effective place to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self control, the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home. - David O. McKay, President of LDS Homeschooling in California

Can you have a springtime "harvest".... of venison? :)
Your a mind reader, EllaJac!
Who would've thought Bambi could be so destructive :)? Did Joel tell you that we are thinking of coming up for a few days in June?
I meant to say "you're a mind reader, ellajac". Oops.
