Who is Watching the Harvest?

Without a doubt this is the year of the garden.  We like having it located closer to the house where we can see it better and where a single length of hose is long enough to water it all.  The plants like the new location too.

I’ve wanted to get pictures of the eggplants.  The problem is those luscious purple fruits grow almost hidden below and behind large leaves.  But I try . . .

Sylvia brought two more of these beauties into the house yesterday.  Actually, she picked them and I carried them in.  I went out to take a look at progress.  Sylvia was already harvesting from the bounty.  She had these waiting just outside the fence.

As I finished shooting the basket full of food, I was talking with Sylvia.  That’s when we realized we had an observer.

Can you see her?  She watched intently as the humans continued to talk to each other.  She eventually decided they were mostly harmless.

Then she turned and walked away.  We lost sight of her as she disappeared behind the cattails.  Do you suppose she was upset with us for invading her territory?

  1. The doe could have saved time on her analysis of the humans had she read the Hitchhiker’s Guide–of course if she only had access to an early edition she would have mistakenly found you “Harmless”…

    • I was wondering if anyone other than my sons would catch the reference. Now, I’ll never know for sure. 😀 Thanks for leaving the comment. I appreciate it.
