Bear

62 degrees this morning and cloudy, didn't see the sun at all.

Walked to town and back today.

On the way there snapped this picture of a few deer.

Sorry about the not so clear picture.

There are 5 deer but you will probably only be able to see 3

in the picture.  2 right in the garden, 1 on the driveway to the left, and

there are 2 more by the shed.

 This is what is left of the big old house in town that those two people

 were taking down.

Just a big pile of stones left.

Walked once around the ball park.

Passed the post office and dropped a Netflix down the mail slot,

and then around the cemetery at the top of the hill.

That hill now seems just like a bump in the road after walking

up all those steep hills.

 Then headed back home for a total of 6.3 miles.

Last evening just after 7:00 I walked into the bedroom, looked out of

the window and spotted a bear walking past the window.  

Yelled for Ken to "come look at the bear."

He/She was a medium sized one and looked nice and healthy with a shiny black coat.

It was so exciting to see it right next to the house.

The bear walked up to the fire barrel out back and stood up to 

look inside.  

We opened the window and the bear looked over at us.

I made a noise and it took off running up in the woods.

Didn't take any pictures because didn't want to miss looking at the bear.

This morning I went out back to see if I could find any bear tracts.

Only found this one.  It is a tiny bit bigger than my spread out hand.

We have a wood shop that is up near the cabin at Happy Trails but

it has lots of junk in it too.  It's a quarter of a mile away from the house

and we decided one of these days we will move it closer to the house

So for now we started cleaning it out.

I am happy to say that we are getting rid of most of the stuff in it.

Threw away a lot and the good stuff we are going to bring to an auction.

 It will be nice when it is just a wood shop again.

I told Ken that whatever else he finds hidden away in boxes not to tell

me about but just get rid of it.  If I don't even know I have it I won't miss it.

With all the sun and rain we've been getting I had to mow the lawn

again today down at the old house.

I made roasted potatoes for supper to go along with the chicken

and beans.   I use rosemary in the roasted potatoes and it was

so nice to just reach up to the window sill and pick it fresh.

We had another storm come through this evening again.

So that's been my day.

Hope yours was a good one and you found your joy today.

Life is Good
