Moose in yard...

Another sign of fall perhaps, the moose are hungry... and they're frequenting our yards. They will become a regular site in our neighborhood as the snow covers up available food in the mountains. By spring they will have nibbled down all available munch-able greenery, alders, undergrowth, unprotected expensive landscaped trees and shrubs (!). I keep thinking that's why my lilac (free, I did not pay for it) has not bloomed yet, it gets munched on every winter by the moose. Unless it is not the hybrid variety which does take 9 years to bloom... I think it's the moose! They munch off any new growth that the poor little shrub had managed to put on over the summer. I keep thinking we need to put up some type of barrier, oh well...
