they may not leave money but they do leave me a lot of what looks to be chocolate covered almonds.

With the endlessly expanding Washington Metro Area, the deer and other wildlife are being invaded from their habitats. I'm sorry, but I feel bad for the animals. It really bothers me, the way this area has changed in the 20 years that I've lived here.

I do feel sorry for the critters (sometimes).
We live in a 40+ year old house alongside the Rachel Carson Greenway - paradise for deer. At one point, we counted a herd of 12 in our backyard. That kind of density is incredible.
And don't even get me started on the gopher/woodchuck!!!
I was amazed when that tubby little varmint squeezed through the end of a chainlink fence - a space about 2.5" wide! And this guy was a fatty!
Fortunately, I'll likely just get a sympathetic nod or a resigned shrug from my neighbor when I tell him of the lost peaches.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

We have so many deer here that at least once a week some deer suddenly leaps out of the bushes and crosses us right in front of our bikes at 30mph or so. One day I suspect we'll have a collision and someone will be hurt.

Hey Regina--Believe me, I know you aren't one of the mcmansion/infill tacky home types.
If you were, you wouldn't be posting here or be out on your bike. Instead, you'd be driving your Lexus SUV or Chevy Suburban to the day spa. LOL.
We have a lot of foxes, raccoon, and possums in our neighborhood. No deer, but I've seen a lot of them in the W&OD corridor along Rte. 66 (Arlington & Falls Church) and in Arlington, north of Lee Hwy. Something, oddly enough, ate our sunflower. It hadn't yet become a flower, though. All that's left is the stalk & leaves. My husband thinks a squirrel must have climbed up and nabbed it.
