She's Back!

After a grateful hiatus, my deer is back.... Alas!

I first contemplated this possibility after pulling into my driveway on Thursday evening and discovering that all of the crocus blossoms were mysteriously gone! Gone, indeed. More like lunch....

And what's to be done? No one in any official capacity will assist me. Do I curse the fact that I live in such a woodsy urban setting?

Yet, how do I stop feeding the damn deer with every flower, bush, tree, bulb I plant!?

Am I suddenly left with the maxim: "Love the animal, hate their animal instincs?" How crazy ironic is that!?

Suggestions......
