Yes I’m replying to my own post.
Meet Darla:
Darla is part of a cluster of deer that live in the neighborhood. They’ve been a part of the neighborhood for as long as I can remember and my house is one of their safe zones. Once in a while I’ll have some spare blueberries I can give them so they don’t go to waste, and that’s what Darla uses me for.
She absolutely hates my cat though. 😔
I love deer on every level, and am generally happy to see them where I live. Except for this-- that they can carry deer ticks.
Which for a person already disabled, would pretty much be curtains. But even for the completely healthy, getting Lyme Disease is generally a complete disaster.
We have a small herd of deer that comes through our yard and we leave corn out in the winter and in the summer fill up a boulder that was carved out like a bowl over many years of sitting in a creek.
We have names for a few of them
That's the 4 of them
