Recently the empire has seen an increase in the number of visits by the local deer. I would say that during the first five years in the house it was extremely rare to see any, perhaps at most one or two on a couple of occasions a year. A few weeks ago, there were eight wandering around at the back of the house, which so far is a domestic record. This afternoon three came to visit. At one point I thought a couple of them were poised to knock at the back door.
It is nice always nice to see them, but I would appreciate their visits so much more, if they could help keep the grass perfectly trimmed during the summer ….
These must be the same members of the gang hanging around here driving Zoe crazy! And bold - they were just feet away from the front door, nibbling on grass/moss, and ignoring the dog going ballistic at the window!
