We have this understanding, the deer and I.
When I first bring plants home from the nursery,
I leave them out overnight.
If they are still there in the morning, I plant them.
If they aren't, I don't

I dine alone this evening,
sitting out on the hillside
enjoying a still summer night.
Suspiciously still.
Where is everyone?
No squirrels? No chipmunks?
(The feeders are full.)
No jays, no junkos,
no chickadees, robins or wrens?
Not even flies?
Was there a memo I didn't receive?

We all have to face it: Some things are not meant to be.

The chipmunks and I are developing a very special relationship.
I think of them as my little woodland friends.
They think of me as a primary food source.
We're very close.
