This morning I noticed Bambi and her mother in my front yard looking for something good to eat. So I grabbed the ladder, went around back, and picked some scabby apples for them.
I mean, they’ve already eaten all the good plants anyway. At this point I might as well keep them around a little longer in hopes they’ll munch on the super ugly pine tree/bush the HH planted last summer, right?
We bought the apple tree three years ago and this was the first year the tree produced apples. I have no idea what kind of apples they are but they are pretty tasty {the non scabby ones that is}.
Anyway, as I was picking the apples I suddenly realized what a total dummy I had been. I should have weighed the apples before I tossed them to the deer. Geezzz. What was I thinking? So I quickly picked the rest of the apples and ran inside to weigh them.
Hot Diggety! Not bad. Only 35 pounds to go!

Sign reads … DONT FEED THE WILDLIFE!
Mavis says
What are you the Freakin’ wildlife police? I do believe you let bears eat out of your trash cans my dear.
Elizabeth says
We had a mother and 2 youngsters grazing the garden bed last weekend. Not sure what they were finding unless it was just pickings from the summer compost spread over and in with the mulched leaves. But they were there awhile.

I’m so jealous! Such beauty. I’d love to have deer and bears visiting my yard. The only wildlife we get in my yard in sunny So Cal are birds and opossums. And yes, I feed them to get them here! I’d feed those deer and bears, too, no matter what the signs said!
Amy says
your apples look like they are “golden delicious”
Angie Smith says
I started reading & was wondering if you weighed the apples first, and then I kept reading…I think you should estimate the weight of the apples you fed to the deer & add it to your total!
Desi says
I agree with guessing the weight of those apples. Just take your smallest and multiply it by how many you gave them.
