What Were You Doing at 4:30 AM?
Mon Aug 12 2013

  Well, I'll tell you what I was doing... Tiptoeing through the dark house worried about what Elvin, Mr. P's dog next door was barking at so hysterically. I got up to see the flashlight waving around outdoors and then heard a gun shot! Turns out that a certain very large and very black bear was sitting in the apple tree having a snack. Mr. P does not want bears hanging around the yard. [Neither do I, come to think of it…] So he warned him off. Last seen, he was making tracks back up into the woods where he belongs. I didn't step foot out of the door last night though. I really don't WANT to see a bear that badly. I'll watch them on TV, thank you very much. I hope he decides to find other places to hang out at 4:30 in the morning. It's crowded enough around here already. Besides, I have plans for those apples myself!   lime wild

    Indoors....with the lights out and the doors locked.......sounds like a perfectly respectable plan to me. :)

    YIKES!!! Well, you already know how I feel about bears, so I won't go on and on about it. But, still...... I'd have been locked in my closet if it were in my yard. Pesky critters.

    Eeek! There are times I'm really glad I live in a country where the largest wild mammal (well, apart from a few introduced goats and rabbits) is a very small bat.

    Oh my. There goes another theory. Up here in Bear Valley we do get a bear or so every few years and they break into cabins and make a huge mess. Supposedly they won't come near if there is a barking dog :))) I'm just glad he didn't think your garden was tasty :)))
