Out In the Yard....

We have LOTS of day lillies and tiger lillies in bloom - its a good thing Kevin's favorite color is orange :)


It seems that a FEW of our day lillies have been disturbed...
a deer has been here.....a'snooz'n in the day lillies...
theyr'e all matted down in a nice little bed
and here is was what remains of the flowers...
Perhaps we need to try our Irish Spring soap trick - as per our July 12th post. It seems to be working with the pot out front - the leafy vines are growing back in after the last deer attack. See? Look.


AND! We have grown our first raspberry!! I picked it, after snapping a pic, and Kevin promptly split in half for us to share - yum.

...and there a LOTS of Japanese Beetles ALL over the raspberry leaves - chewing them into lacy-holey leaves, but mostly, those beetles are DOING IT all over the place!

I counted at least 7 beetle-couples getting it on right there in our garden.
How inconsiderate! 
But not so impolite not to include an up-close view of the dirty deed.
