Simply..no sunshine today....

2/4/2018

.. bitter cold wind and more snow on the tops, but good friends staying, delicious food and some very nice wine, a fire, candles, a friendly little dog, and the music of Tord Gustavsson made me very happy.

Happy enough to help me get over the discovery that the early morning deer ate almost a hundred white tulips to the ground.

Country life.

Love it.

Sounds like a lovely day. I think some revenge is called for, though.
1) Print out a recipe for venison casserole. 2) Repeat x 100 3) Create 100 origami flowers with said recipe 4) Place where tulips would have been 5) Hope they get indigestion!

Just a thought in this very PC world - this is a joke!

I love this idea Linda and I have to say I did briefly wish indigestion on them!

Oh your poor tulips Freda... How do the deer get into your garden? Do they just jump the fence? I'm glad you had plenty of happy things to soften the blow.... Linda's idea does sound excellent though!!!

They simply walk up the drive or hop the fence Lotta. In the past smelly soap has deterred them and I've had tulips in the garden before but...

I love tulips, I mean deer aphrodisiac. I foolishly planted crocus, Dutch Iris, and several other varieties of mole/vole food. So my only bulbs are many varieties of daffodils.

It's heartbreaking - though daffodils are very lovely!

Good to have friends (2 and 4-legged variety), wine and music to soften the blow of lost tulips.

It softened the blow considerably!

I thought Linda was going to say,
1) Print out a recipe for venison casserole.
2) Make venison casserole.

Also a joke.

We did have smoked venison one evening - maybe if they knew? How can I let them know.....

Maybe they knew. Then ate your tulips for revenge...
