Fawns that call our city neighborhood home.

 The fencing is up in part of the front yard...

I think it's pretty effective BUT my deer radar is still up. 

Tonight I spotted a "cute" fawn in the front yard. It might be too young to have human radar but I doubt it.  It has learned that it is totally "safe" in our neighborhood!

I yelled...it looked up and continued eating! I turned on a light, opened the front door , walked within 3 feet of it while yelling at it the entire time.  It just stared at me.  When I got closer it finally "walked" away.  I terrorized it some more and it decided to go to the neighbor's yard where it continued to eat.  Finally I picked up a handful of gravel and threw it and hit it! It jumped and strolled away.  I crossed my flowerbeds and it finally had had enough and reluctantly trotted across the street!

There are many more just like it that call our little part of paradise home.  No wonder we have to resort to putting up this not so attractive fencing.

Let's just say I felt like a crazy woman running after a fawn in the dark -- wearing a bathrobe and slippers!!
