A Visitor To The Farm

We started the morning off down in the orchard harvesting and while Lisa and I were busy picking cucumbers  Lisa began taking her basket of cucumbers to the gator and she looked up and saw a visitor to the garden.  She called to me and I looked up and saw our visitor, a deer.  The deer was in the bed of leaf lettuce having breakfast.  Of course we were both surprised to see that a deer was only about 10 yards from us eating away and not really caring that we were both standing there watching it.  It was a very cute sight and we took pictures with our phones and a video that we both posted on Facebook and then realized that the deer was eating our lettuce and Lisa shooed her off.  So, now we know who has been eating our lettuce and sweet potato greens.  We thought it might be rabbits and the cow that once again went between the fence and got into the corn and then left us a few cow patties as a thank you but now we really know.  Thank you to all who gave advice on how to distract deer from the garden.  We will give it a try and seeing the deer was  still a cute sight.  Oh well, on another topic I picked another 54 pickling cucumbers so guess what is in our future...more pickles!
