I pick mine before they are fully ripe I ripen them out on the picnic table . Yesterday a doe and two fawns came and got in my garden . They cleaned out the cucumber bed . They stayed for about 15 mins. . The garden is only 35 feet from the window so it was a front row seat for us . I mowed the leaves on high setting so they could get them . How cute they were .

So you didn't mind them getting your cucumbers?

That would have been fun to see them that close up!
 
We use to raise one every now and then I had a deer fence about 1/2 acre . My wife got her permit and the game warden came over and gave it to her along with tag for the ear . We called her dancer she was always trying to play with us, in the winter I would put brussels sprouts in my carhartt jacket and she would come up and stick her nose in my pocket and get them . We went to Texas for my son graduation and someone dropped off a dog wile we were gone , at the same time it got real warm her and the ground thawed the frost had pushed one of the poles up out of the ground and heaved the fence causing the fence to tip at an angle and the dog climbed the fence and killed her . My brother was taking care of her . The dog was in the pen when he went to feed her so he called animal control and they took the dog away . People don't understand the grief they cause when they dump off their problems on someone else . I guess that will never change . You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink .

She was two years old , Thanks I have since taken the fence down we couldn't go through that again . Later I learned of many deer farmers loosing their deer herds to stray dogs burrowing under the fence even though they use ground anchors . I guess one could use aprons as we do with chickens but the cost would be staggering because of the large area you have to have for deer you can't get a permit unless your fence is inspected . They Inspected ours before hand but we had a freak winter where the frost went deeper than what's normal . Around here your pipes have to be at least 36" deep or they will freeze .
 
Good evening everyone :frow

Good morning everyone :frow

The cats decided 1:15am was the time to get up, I'll probably be napping when most of you check in later.

Hi, Mad!

Good morning Debby, 😒Same problem, but mine (cats and dogs) waited till 3 am to get up.
Good morning y'all!
I seem to have picked up a summer cold. Worse, I think I passed it on to the hubby.
I hope everyone has a great day!

It depends on where you move to in California!

I was visiting the Mendocino coast last week and it is a place that is almost always 60F. The foothills and mountains can be very much like Michigan in the winter.

Very true!! One of my favorite things about California is the different weather all in one state, and there's a ton of beaches 💜💜💜
