I’ve gradually been filling in more native plants along the outside border of the raised bed garden my husband built me last year. I went to check on things today and found this unexpected visitor. So glad mama felt safe to leave her here 🩷

As for the plants: I’m in SE Michigan, and there’s columbine, Joe Pyle weed, zigzag goldenrod, heart leaf aster, and blue flag iris among others in here (I’ve honestly lost track 😆). Mostly shade- and moisture-loving plants on this side, as it’s the low end of our yard and tends to have standing water into late spring. Just put in some rose milkweed that I successfully germinated over winter in a milk jug greenhouse, too 🩷

  2. Those are beautiful photos, especially the first one. I’ve never seen a photo of a fawn quite like that! Welcome to the dark side. If you plant it, they will come.

    Me too. Does are dropping them like a bad habit all over the neighborhood.

    The first imagine has a weird shaped leaf that makes it look like there’s another head. 😭😭😭

    Your pictures are gorgeous!! I had some visitors today too. My pictures were not as awesome as they were through a screen or hanging way out over my deck 😅

    If I ever get baby deer or raccoons, I will start dressing like a Disney princess and just quit my job to frolic full time in the yard.

    I live in a high Lyme disease area. And a lot of deer killed by cars. Seeing deer does not bring me joy, unfortunately.
