The Obsessive Neurotic Gardener

Posted on October 30, 2012 by jmarkowski Posted in Deer .

We are without power, have a few trees down and a wet basement after Hurricane Sandy passed through last night into this morning.

But we are safe and the damage is very limited. We were lucky unlike so many others. We have read a lot about the destruction via Twitter and have seen a few pics, but haven’t truly seen all that went down. Our hearts go out to all that were so deeply affected by Sandy’s wrath.

Just now, we were witness to two bucks brawling right in our backyard. Maybe they needed to get out some energy after the storm:

  

We actually thought that they were fighting to the death and started to approach them only to scream like mad when they both ran right at us in a frothy frenzy.

Hopefully will be back up and running soon.

John

    John, Glad you all came through Sandy relatively intact. We got a wet basement too, but otherwise…can’t complain really. We plan to go out and check out the environs this afternoon. Too cold this morning. Friends in WV and TN got 30 inches of snow already. Skiing season should be great. Take some pics and share. The deer are such strange critters, heh? Best to you and yours.

    That first one is an incredible shot!! We are just a hair too far north for Sandy to have done much. We are still getting rain, but I have not heard of any damage in Ottawa…

    Great photos! Hope they don’t get too hungry. A couple of gardens in your area (Duke Farms and Buck Gardens) lost big chunks of deer fencing, which could spell doom for the plants. My problem in PA was not deer, but sheep! Sandy blew a greenhouse frame on a fence, which released the sheep and … well you can guess the ending, or read the whole story in my latest post.
