A grateful tip of the hat to Tim Boland for his excellent editorial, Tuesday, June 26, Wood Lilies Too Dear for Deer.

“While we dislike suburbanization off-Island, we have our own brand of it right here.” Talk about a phrase full of meaning. In a gentle way, Mr. Boland slammed home some brutal truths.

Thank you, sir, for not blaming the deer, who are only trying to survive. (Yes, I know, just like us. But we have the ability to plan ahead).
