I started my morning in a good mood, when I saw my yard full of stars! Little did I know that my happy mood was about to be dashed to bits. I was about to discover that a heinous crime has been committed in my own backyard. A dastardly deer has eaten four of our baby tomato plants.
Mr. Redbreast was sitting in this tree at the corner of our yard, telling me about the attack. Apparently, he saw the whole thing. Detectives are taking his statement as we speak.
The deer didn’t take long to find our newly planted tomatoes. All four plants are nibbled down like this. They made it one whole day….. yay…… Law enforcement officials say it’s only a matter of time until the perp is caught.
A deer left footprints right through the middle of the Mortgage Lifter tomatoes. The forensics lab is currently analyzing them, and will be able to find the culprit! 
The deer saved these for another meal. The SVU is going to place a watch close by, so hopefully, they will be able to avoid the same fate as their neighbors.
