We apparently had a bear in our yard yesterday evening, folks.  I did not see it, but it was in our neighbors yard and disappeared stage left . . . meaning most likely into our yard.  They have photographic evidence.  I love it!  That adds to the list of animals I’ve seen in our yard – squirrels, rabbits, deer, (dogs), a coyote, a bobcat, and a bear.  And our neighbors two doors down had a mountain lion in their yard.  We are a couple of miles from a giant pair of wooded, mountainous state parks totaling 5000 acres.  I guess the animals must be coming from thataway.  Hurray for that!  I love feeling that we are just a little bit close to nature.
