I was taking a few random shots this morning,
and was in our pantry taking snaps of the glass oil lamps and old bottles
that sit on a small windowsill in there...
so pretty.
then I realized what I was seeing beyond the window ~
can you see them?
here are better pics of my visitors ~
 |
| mama & baby |
...they come to the back of the farmhouse
where the salt from our water softener empties out ~
it's their very own personal salt-lick!
so sweet ~ love baby's spots,
dots and racing stripes...
 |
| buh-bye baby |
 |
| don't worry mama, you're both safe here! |
after they finished getting their daily sodium intake,
I waited till they left then headed out to the garden:
 |
| ruff-ly little marigolds |
 |
leggy chocolate mint in my old urn
|
oh yes ~ there are plenty of weeds...
they don't bother me at all.
 |
| happy morning glories |
 |
| a spent black eyed suzy |
 |
| oh those colors!!! |
 |
| pumpkin vines and boxwood |
 |
| pumpkin & holly (and more weeds) |
and this:
 |
| my very favorite calla lily |
 |
| she graces my garden ~ is she not beautiful? |
 |
| a regal guest in our humble garden |
 |
| morning glory's near the outhouse ~ |
Hoping you all have a beautiful,
relaxing Sunday spent with those who love you most ~

Thank you for sharing.
The deer are so sweet so glad they didn't find your lovely gardens.

Our neighbor has a crabapple tree that attracts the deer. Yesterday, we saw a mama doe, an aunty and twin fawns. They do munch on some of my flowers, but I love seeing them!
Oh Lori I love my deer too. They are so agile and beautiful. During drought, summer and into early winter I keep a bucket filled with water for my lovely rsidents. I used to keep a salt lick until I learned from local people that fawns under a year can dye from the salt as it is tasty and they could take in too much. So I just give them water. Sounds like you have the perfect system for them. Good for you and GOOD for them too.

I have really enjoyed your garden photos! The guests are cute but they can mess up a garden. I have only a few favorite roses. One morning I came out and they were all eaten!!
Beautiful photos Lori! Love the doe ad fawn, the lantern glass, the black eyed susans and the calla lily-at first I thought it was a jack in the pulpit.
Hi Lori,
What a great view for you - I'm surprised they don't eat your flowers too.
They are just beautiful!!
Thanks for sharing

Oh what fun and pretty back yard guests you have! They are so sweet, I just love to watch them. I think that's cute they found where your salt empties out.
Gorgeous flowers too. You reminded me that a friend gave me marigold seeds, oops haha! I've been thinking about trying my hand at morning glories, yours are beautiful!
I enjoyed my visit to your farm. Thanks Lori~
