In my dream, it would be a fast acting poison that would drop the deer in its

In my dream, the deer would only browse the clover patch I planted for them, and the woodchucks would munch only on the zucchini at the end of the row, and the red squirrels would confine themselves to the half pint of strawberries I placed out for them every day, and the voles would eat all of one pumpkin, not take a nibble from every one in the patch...well, I can dream, can't I?


In my dream, they would all, each and every one of them, eat the weeds; and only the weeds.

And they would somehow magically know, in each spot in each field, what was a weed and what was a crop; and would leave us just enough purslane to take to market.
