This weekend we finished installing an updated section of fence along the back corner of our property. It’s the area the pesky elk repeatedly broke through this past winter. Now it’s set up with eight-foot high 4×4 posts set in 120 pounds of concrete and steel wire fencing. During our three days of work an interested observer was this little doe who munched contentedly on the blackberries looking, I’m convinced, for potential weak points in our new defenses. Late Sunday afternoon I found her lounging in a shady spot adjacent to the new fence snacking on some volunteer sedum.
