In the large scheme of things, this is trivial, I know. But it really upset me. The deer have just started doing this in the past few years.
I had high hopes for my one remaining hydrangea, which is the only thing I’ve had moderate success at not killing. I was taking pictures almost every day to capture a series of the blooms. The deer had already nibbled away my other two bushes in a different spot. This one, I thought was safe, between the kitchen window and the driveway. Starting April 30 until May 16 all was well. Then May 17 I found the decimation. I wanted to cry, but instead said a very bad word. They came back a couple days ago and finished it off.
