Rain Berries
Deer Drats
Rain at last! Hattie had promised to bring Dulcie Berry-picking so they donned their raincoats and ventured outside. Oh drat! The plants at the top of the planter were cropped short during the night by ravening deer…
Dulcie’s berries
…but Dulcie found a couple of berries lower down…
A fine harvest
…and they had a little rain berry feast.

Hello Ladies!
WordPress are not very happy with us for some reason and is not allowing us to post comments on any of the 3 blogs we follow, but we have been enjoying READING about you and your sisters over the last year or so.
We hope you enjoyed your berry feast and that your beautiful coats kept you snug.
Love,
Mary and Roberta Not-Quite-Hitty
Oh dear, oh dear, I hope the computer issues are resolved! We like hearing from you, but are glad you’ve been able to see us, even if we couldn’t see that you saw!
Oulala!!!! Deer are picky on Quimper st!!!! Out here, they stick to hostas! We’ve had rain pretty much every day but…no cute rain gear! They are wonderful, great job!!! Enjoy the berries.
We love the berries, unfortunately so do the deer (and the slugs!)There is no end of hungry beasts here in Victoria!
So glad to hear of the rain coming your way…what a relief…and what cuties who have donned rain gear and delighted in the berries.
It was very nice to have rain – and quite a thunder-and-lightening event too! We are back to sunny forecasts again, but hopefully will have a damper rest of the summer!
Dulcie looks a little worried that the deer might return and steal “her” strawberries. I’m sure Hattie reassured her though.
They had better eat those ones u quickly! Perhaps the human should move the planter somewhere more deer- repellant!
I am so glad that the rain finally arrived! Sorry that the deer got to the berries before the Hittys could, though.
We hope the rain dampened the soil a bit, and that the lightening didn’t start any more fires!
oh the darling raincoats on your darling girls. Glad the girls were able to save some berries!
The girls are good at looking under every leaf for every little hiding berry!
Just look at Dulcie’s little toes a-curl with the pleasure of anticipation! – and thwarting the ravenous deer.
Dulcie thoroughly enjoyed the berries, and found out that they taste best when you pick them your very own self!
I am glad the Quimper Hittys could spare the berries, but I feel the pain of loss to a foraging critter. Glad for your rain as well – I bet the garden smelled heavenly!
The garden was singing Halleluia in it’s own way!
Oh what a simply beautiful and stunning rain coat Dulcie has on…it has ‘wow; factor according to the Rose Cottage Hittys. Lovely berries.
Thanks! It was useless as an umbrella, so we turned it into something useful – just in time for a rain shower too!
