More dear oh deer



Yeah the damn deer did come back for desert. Got the squash all the way down to the nub in the middle of the plants. Don't seem to like the old leaves. Phillip covered up the beets,chard and new cukes with wire. Just a little late to save the squash in the garden. I have some planted up close to the house out in front where the deer hasn't ventured yet. I hope it is too close to the house to suit it. They are in bloom now and have small squash on them. Got some cukes and watermelon out with the flowers that are doing good so far. Maybe the marigolds will keep the deer from smelling them. So far so good. Been in the high 90's here yet so maybe all will make it to maturity.




Here is a puzzle or two to look at. I got them from a guy who used to live in Spokane and now has moved down to Walla Walla to live with his Daughter on a farm.




When you look at this do you see grey spots in between the black squares?





Stare at this one for 30 or 40 seconds and then look at a light colored blank wall. You will be surprised at what you see.
