Airedales, Deer, Limelights and a Watermelon

I purchased this pair of bronze airedale terriers from the huge antique flea market in Brimfield MA in the 90s and love them. Only the daughter has the Theodore B. Starr foundry mark but they are definitely a pair. They are on my slant front desk in my livingroom.


This is my first fawn sighting this year and I'm not thrilled with the deer this year. I can't remember another year when they've eaten so many of my plants and shrubs.


This photo is a little out of order but it shows a buck eating sunflower seeds. I finally got smart and brought this feeder in at night.


OK, back to my current deer problem. My biggest and best Limelight hydrangea got eaten early in the season and has recovered nicely but my barricade is still in place. I might move it today since I mowed my yard yesterday and the shrub is actually nice and filled out and has grown taller than they can reach.


This watermelon was delicious. I hope the one I buy today is half as good. This photo is in the downstairs summer kitchen in my cottage.

See you later. xo, Rosemary
