Deer damage the garden, but they also provide magical moments

There are days when I consider fencing off my so-called “deer proof garden” to completely protect the landscape from deer damage.

And then I wake up in the morning to a sight like this mother deer with her two little spotted fawns.

There’s something magical about having magnificent wild creatures wandering around my property that makes me willing to compromise on the garden.

So I’ll continue modifying my gardening practices, and try to take a philosophical approach to the deer damage – all so that I can enjoy magic moments like the one pictured here.
