11:43 am	Oh, Deer!  Now I know I don't live in the city anymore. My wife and I were looking out the office window, and we saw a deer (doe) approaching the flowers by the front porch (docile, huh?). Eventually, she moved to one of our other gardens. My wife sent me out to chase her away. When I went outside, she retreated back into the woods. Meanwhile, our dog didn't notice anything.
