Vermin

Deer are cute. Deer are vermin. Both things can be true. Keeping them from eating my plants, including plants they allegedly don't like, is a never-ending process.

I was leaving the greenhouse a couple days ago when I had a nagging thought that I hadn't latched the door. Nah. I dismissed it. Then checking the trail camera today, I saw this, my biggest nightmare.

The wind blew the unlatched door open and there was a deer, being given the opportunity to ravage my strawberries and whatever else it desired. But it cautiously stuck its head in the door, then backed away. A few seconds later, the door swung shut.

And then there is the cute part.
