I keep thinking I want to get a camera for the vegetable garden area since its surrounded by woods & is quite a ways from the house. The garden hadn't been used in several years as we had done container plantings for what little we had to grow. The last couple years I've been working on it & this year got a battery powered pole saw. There are several trees growing & as I was assessing them, realized that I had a couple pine trees that are too big for me to cut down, a couple sweet gum that are definitely not staying, & a couple persimmon trees. I do not care for persimmon but the hubs likes them. I collected 4 - yes 4 - one day & put them in the freezer. I noticed several on the trees not quite ripe. I also noticed a couple limbs low enough that I had to raise them up to walk under, & thought to myself I need to prop them up somehow. I went out there a couple days ago & *something* had eaten them all. There are none in the trees that I can see or any on the ground. Since its in the middle of the vegetable garden, they will now be cut down. There is no point in having dessert for the deer & raccoons. I had mentioned to my husband not to eat the ones in the freezer because I wanted to make something like jelly once I had enough. Not being too smart, he sarcastically wanted to know if I was going to make a pie out of the four. I said yep, for some fairies, so don't touch them.
He's also showed me strange things caught on those cameras like a child in the middle of the woods at night & people saying its a ghost. And weird looking creatures. So maybe I don't really want to know what's out there.
