HOME GARDENING WITH BARBARA

Havingspentthepastcoupleofyearsgetting nothing I expected, I offer astorytakendirectlyfromRacheiNaomiRemen’s Kitchen Table Wisdom, be-cause shehas said it farbetter than Icould.

I Never Promised You a Rose GardenMy backyard on the slopes of Mt. Tamal-pais in Northern California is actually a very small meadow. In the summer and fall of every year, a stag visits at dawn and twilight. This is quite a thing for someone who grew up in Manhattan. This year he has six points on his ant-lers. Last year five or perhaps four. He is heart-stopping.

Actually, I did not plan to have a stag. I planned to have a rose garden. The year after I moved here, I planted fifteen rose bushes, gifts from my friends. It was a lot of hard work, but I could see

it in my mind’s eye. Just like in Sunset Magazine. The roses bloomed in the late spring and for a month the garden was glorious. Then the roses started disap-pearing. Puzzled, I eventually realized that something larger than aphids was eating them and became determined to catch it in the act. Getting up one dawn and glancing out the window, I was transfixed by seeing the stag for the first time. He looked like an illustration from one of my childhood books. As I watched in awe, he unhurriedly crossed the yard, browsed for a while among the roses, and then delicately ate one of my Queen Elizabeths.

Every year since then I have had to make a difficult choice. Am I going to put up higher fences and have roses, or am I go-ing to have a stag ten feet from my back door? Every year so far, I have chosen the

stag. After two years of watching each other through a pane of glass, I can now sit outside as he dines.

If I tell people this, some say in disbelief, “You mean that you are letting this deer eat your roses?” Sometimes I will invite someone like this over to watch. One friend, stunned into silence by the sight, said simply, “Well, I guess we are always doing the right things for the wrong reasons.” I had thought I was planting rose bushes in order to have roses. It now seems I was actually planting rose bushes in order to have half an hour of silence with this magical animal every morning and every evening.
