    I'll see a hawk maybe once every two or three years. We had a large tree come down last fall, I'm pretty sure squirrel's nested in it maybe they'll be less of them this year.

    You might try training the deer. We don't have deer here, just moose, but that is a different thing. Folks back home in PA, where deer are a problem sometimes put apple wedges on an electric fence to keep the deer out of the orchard. The deer reportedly develop a distaste for apples after biting into electrified ones a few times. They don't jump the fences either for some reason. One of my sons had trouble with brown bears in the bush here. They were doing fish sampling for the state and the bears would just walk right through the highest voltage electric fence. They discovered if they hung pieces of bacon on the fence wires, the bears wouldn't break through the fence. The sows taught their cubs to avoid the bacon, and now they don't even have to turn on the electricity to the fence if they put bacon on the wire. The bears have avoided it for a couple generations now.

    That's an interesting suggestion, Don.

    I've read of people putting peanut butter on pieces of foil and then attaching it to the fence for the same training purposes. Regarding bear...I've got them here. I've wanted to plant berry bushes in that garden, but figured it would just be an invitation for the bear to crash through. I gotta think that bacon would attract (and train) lots of other critters here. And it certainly would provide some entertainment.

    There's a guy around the corner from me who always has a nice garden, and he hangs used unwashed t-shirts around it as a deterrent. It seems to work. But he's roadside, and I'm nestled way back in the woods. Neither the deer nor the bear are afraid of me.

    The tall lily started opening its blossoms today, so I had to take a picture of it ! It still has more blooms to open.
    Not sure what kind of lily it is, but it gets 6-7 feet tall each year. Now, it is along the fence where I just planted the new raspberries, so I am going to have to dig it up and move it this fall, I think.

    NOTHING beats the awe and beauty and complexity of nature.
    I have always found that to be especially true of plants.

    Today I took pics of my firewood racks so I could label them with the species & supplier of wood. I can't tell one tree species from another with the leaves on, and want to know for when I burn them next year. And I commingled some of it because of a last minute "too good to pass up" purchase.
