After our women's civic group met this weekend, we had a chance to sit and talk and much to my delight, the conversation quickly turned to animals and gardens.
One member was enthralled with a friendly neighborhood cat, while another was mad at a rabbit for nibbling her flowers, but pleased that a fox had been making the rounds nibbling on rabbits. We all agreed that while deer are magnificent to look at, they are not to be messed with, especially when they are protecting their young. We discussed weather vanes at length, lamented about mulching, wondered how deep groundhog holes really go, and pondered the ancestry of furry chickens.
A productive conversation indeed.
