It has become routine now. Every few days the deer wander through to nibble on things. Today they (a small herd of five) preferred the lilac bushes and the brush on the hillside. On other days they have headed over to the two bird feeding stations. We don't encourage them to gobble up all the seeds though, and in one of the spots my husband has been able to erect a long pole that raises the clothesline to which the bird feeders are attached. It was a comical sight, when on another occasion, two deer, with necks stretched upwards, contemplated a potential food source beyond their reach.
