They're b a c k....

 Only because the bears aren't around. This doe had two fawns.


Poor Charlie! He tries so hard to keep Laverne and Shirley away from Maude and Sophia! They still fight a lot but at least L & S let Maude an Sophia eat with them in the morning. Finally.


 Charlie keeping an eye on Shirley - she chases the little ones all over the yard.


 He's tired at the end of the day and is the first one to walk into the coop at night. L & S are next, but I have to shoo Maude and Sophia in yet. Sometimes Shirley jumps down from the roost and pecks at them. They hop right back up, though. I'm glad. I was getting tired of going in the coop and putting them up on the bar. After a few more pecks, they all settle down.


 A little rose bud! Yeah!


 The peas are growing nicely - not too bad for being on the deck!


:o)

  1. Maybe if M&S start fighting back. Miss Shirley will stop her attacks. Such "mean girls".

    1. As soon as Maude and Sophia get bigger than L & S, I'm sure the tables will turn! Now that will be fun to watch! :o)

    1. Deer eat EVERYTHING. They go after what is easiest first, then strip away anything that is left. Animals eat other animals. The chickens just love moles and mice - they fight over them, L & S eat feathers, too. They are not lacking anything in their diet - I don't know why they do it though.
