Thanks to Nick, our gracious neighbor, for providing the above image of our local bear captured about a week ago at 1:30 AM via Nick's automatic nature cam. Initial reports were that the bear was "about as big as a trash can." Upon closer inspection it appears that the bear has the trashcan beat, sitting down. Maybe our concerns about tent camping are not completely unfounded.
We returned to our vacation home Saturday after spending the morning doing house chores, and visiting with family. Funny how having a vacation home throws a wrench in normal housework. At least we found that newborn cousin "Alex" was oblivious to chores, vacation homes, and almost everything else. Baby and family are doing well.
Saturday night daddy fell asleep early in response to a lingerly cold, so he cannot report what really went on that evening in the cabin. Clearly the kids stayed up longer because they kept waking him up.
On Sunday the kids enjoyed carving pumpkins, hunting bugs, and collecting walnuts. We built our first daytime campfire. Daddy mowed the yard for the second time, this time with Dee Dee, Nick's aging John Deere. Nothing that a new battery, fresh breaks, and a better drive-belt won't fix. Sadly we had to leave Sunday night and return to our normal lives.
