Wish I could have a garden. . . Well, imagine my surprise to find every plum on my tree gone.

I have two small gardens and both are full of veggies. Tomatoes are loaded already. I had to pull up the leaf lettuce but will plant something in that spot.

I have a pear tree in the front lawn. Lots of fruit on it this year again. It was loaded last year, until we had a bad hail storm. The year before that, we had been eating some and giving away bags of pears.

One evening I went to throw something into the trash and a racoon had climbed up the tree, knocked off ever remaining pear and the deer were under the tree eating away.

I have not seen that many squirrels since my neighbor hates them. I have seen loads of rabbits, though. Can they climb trees? lol. I think all the birds share in my plums and figs since I see spots on them where it looks like they were pecked. Love my birds though. I have a swing on my patio and one year my daughter and I were sitting in it. We kept seeing hummingbirds flitting about. One kept dive-bombing me. We finally decided the bird liked my red shirt. I would love to have a garden but with all of my allergies, it is just too hard to deal with them. I can just stick my head out the door and my poor head pays the price for it. Have tried all kinds of pills but nothing seems to work. I told a friend that I should start wearing a mask when I go outside. He thought it was a good idea.

Do you live in the country with all of the deer? A friend use to feed a raccoon which kept coming in her yard. Don't know what happened to it. So called progress is taking away all of the places they use to live.

Do owls eat fruit? I hear a bunch of them at night. One came down my chimney years ago. I called my neighbor and he came over. He was going to kill that beautiful white owl. I told him, no thanks, got a pillowcase and got it out that way. It was the first time I had seen one that close.
