Not only us, human being, are coming out of our (COVID19) hibernation. There is a video often shared in the local Public Radio and Television programs these days, about a bear, a black bear, making a mess in the gardens nearby… which are about 5 km from my home!!!
They say these bears are rather friendly, but I won’t try to meet up with them… so I didn’t refurnished the bird feeders, nor I left the garbage bin outside, and even turned and hidden the compostable veggies further below the pine needles and dead leaves in the compost bin…. We are never too cautious!
But how exciting is this in this calm environment!
I have been busy though these days. And busy investigating also. Here are the facts: a mysterious creature was eating what was coming out in the garden…At night….
Interestingly, this happened only in one particular spot, not everywhere, even though the same plant (a fern) was coming out at other locations. Strange.
So when I planted flowers I wanted to be sure the creature would not eat them…at least before I posted it on this blog! And now, after few days, I think I got some answers: I think the light that I left outside all winter gave the deers a kind of path to follow – and you have seen their footprints sometimes! – on which the flowers were coming out of the way! Since I turned off the light on the nights, no greens have been attacked anymore! Strange coincidence….
And the good news is that the flowers have not been eaten… yet!! Yeah!
