It is always a battle with the browsers here. You wouldn't call them aggressive, but they're only a pinch shy of it, brazenly walking on my back porch steps to get 'round the various lines and noisemakers I've hung to deter them. Nor is it that they're short of natural food, though I have to agree that a tender, juicy tomato is better fare than crackly grass and withering ferns. What baffles me is why they are even eating "deer-resistant" species such as hostas and crocosmia. Frustrating, but at least this year, I can say I got a crop (loosely termed) of tomatoes.
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
