Distracted

I have been distracted with Thanksgiving, Christmas readiness, and life! I am behind on my blog. I am going to try and catch up.

The most exciting news is we have a bear. In our neighborhood. A BEAR.  I found more tracks this morning in my next door neighbors driveway.  Her driveway is 4 feet away from mine.  According to one of the bear experts here and based on the tracks the bear is a 700lb black bear, another bear expert says the bear is probably only 200-300 lbs.  Pennsylvania is home to the largest species of black bear.  Jim's hunting friend says the bear might have escaped the forest beacuse it is hunting season in these parts.



We are all appropriately scared and are keeping our children inside.  The first tracks were seen last weekend and I hoped that the bear had moved on.  However, I found more tracks this morning.

I LOVE exciting things likes this, no one is getting hurt, but you can scare yourself enough about some crazy black bear that's on the loose.
You need to set up that hunting camera and leave some honey and berries for the bear... preferably on your porch...
