Oh, Deer

My friends have listened to my endless lament about wanting to have deer visit our home.  After all, they have been visiting our old home, a 1/4 mile away, for several years.
.
I was so excited last week when I saw a doe walk down our driveway.  Didn't have time to get a picture.

But yesterday I find I can complain no more.  We had deer at the neighbors eating apples off their tree and then they crossed the driveway and hopped over the fence to visit. 
 .
The visit included raiding the bird feeders and eating my flowers. 
 .
Dean, aka Mr. Bird Feeder, has been wondering why the feeders are completely empty in the morning but no sign of big birds or raccoons or ?  Now he knows. 

I admit to a small pang when one of the deer went to the blooming garden and started chomping on the blooms but this is what I've always said I wanted. 

What a thrill for us!
