Munchdown

I took the first pic just before I went to bed last night. Our impatiens were just as bodacious as they’ve been all summer. The second pic is first thing this morning.

Who dunnit? My best guess is deer. The place is crawling with little squoils but I don’t think they are capable of eating that much, at least not in one sitting. And I have never seen Heinrich (snowshoe hare) on the deck. I dunno if the deer came ON the deck or not. I didn’t hear anything on the deck during the night but I could’ve slept through it? I think deer could reach the impatiens on our deck so maybe they just silently walked by and munched along the way. I’m a little annoyed but it is the end of the season.

Mr. Wonderful (just kidding) returned from his North Country Trail (NCT) boondoggle this afternoon as a “rock star”. At least a B-list rock star. He and the Uncly Uncle were there together and as they were walking through the park, they could hear other people talking about them. That’s kinda what you get for being identical twins and, on top of that, these ID twins each led hikes yesterday. Both their groups were on the same bus.

After arriving home and having a nap-in-a-can, the GG took a long nap and then headed out to the garage where he entertained some of the local boyz who were driving or walking by. “I need to open up an ice cream shop out there,” he said. Indeed.

All in all, it was a noisy day. The crows and squoils were going crazy most of the day and other birds (who are likely beginning to migrate) skittered through the yard all day. We had npJane over for dinner and then hit the beach to watch the sun go down.

That is about it. G’night, KW.

    My double impatiens look terrible but I can’t blame it on deer–just on overwatering and too much sun. Bad combos of both.

    Deer can browse up to five feet*, so they definitely could have strolled up to the lunch counter deck.

    * This fun fact brought to you by my stint at the Michigan DNR when I was in grad school at MSU.
