There is this really neat kids movie called the Last Mimzy, the water cube looks like something from that movie.

Hi JDH!

Hi Sawsee!!
Everything's fine. Just keeping busy. I had thought someone got on our property with a 4-wheeler and was running over the trees I planted. About 10 trees were snapped and ruined. Just torn up. But now I think it is a deer. I put up some deer fence.

Hey JDH! Did you see nay evidence of tire tracks?

Yes, deer can do a lot of damage.

Are there lots of areas where they can get in?

That's what puzzled me at first, there were no tire tracks. Then by the second week and more broken trees I figured it was a deer or deers. They can get on to the property all around the existing fence is a standard farm fence about 4 or 5 feet tall.

Hi JDH! We have hammered wooden stakes, about 1 foot long at the end of our fence posts. We then string wire between the posts, giving the deer one more, higher barrier. I've seen some people tie, plastic, orange tape on the wires too, but it is not very attractive, plus I believe deer are colour-blind so the orange is redundant. I'm sure just tieing string or some light material that could move with the wind, would be just as effective.
