I found Desiree admiring a pair of her daylilies that are just now beginning to bloom outside our bay windows. Many years ago, I planted a few daylilies near our drive. On the very day they began to blossom, some mule deer sneaked in and chomped the flowers down. Reflecting on this, I said, “Hopefully, your daylilies don’t get discovered by the deer. I have seen that trick before.”
“They
better leave them alone,” she suggested.
“What
will you do if a deer eats them?”
“I
will eat the deer.”
“Oh. I was thinking fencing, but that works, too.”
