Those Darned Deer

I was mixing and pouring concrete in the backyard last week when I noticed a gorgeous tulip. My tulips came with the house. I lose them to the deer almost every year. I did not plant tulips in my garden. Tulips are candy to deer. For the last couple of years, I've been clipping them and bringing them inside to enjoy in vases.

I fully intended to clip the tulip when I finished with the concrete. Cleaning up after finishing my concrete work sidetracked me. I forgot until after dark. I went out the next morning to check the concrete and clip the tulip, and the deer had already taken care of the clipping for me.

I've taken note of all the other tulip blooms beginning to emerge. I'll not wait for them to open before cutting them. I'm hoping to have many beautiful blossoms in my kitchen in the coming days!

seldom heard, well must you keep your secrets
locked inside, hidden deep from view?
