In our housing development we share the land with wild turkeys, rabbits, squirrels, various other small animals, deer, and perhaps a bear.

The “beautification” committee uses seasonal plants and other decorative items around the street signs and mail boxes,  A typical autumn sight is corn stalks wrapped in colorful ribbon.

Evidently the corn stalks are a tasty treat for the deer that wander through here in the evening and early morning.  Mr. Aitch saw one nibbling on this group of stalks on his way home from band practice last night.
