Bird Watching

This male bear was sitting in our yard grooming himself when a flock of birds flew into the trees above. He kept looking up with a frightened expression. Anyone who understands these animals know that they can spook at the slightest of things, and spooked he was. Shortly after he took off like a rocket into the woods.

Quarantine Blues

If current events have been a “bear” to deal with, take a moment for yourself, rest your head and your mind someplace comfy, (it doesn’t have to be covered in moss), and know that you are not alone. Keep the faith that we will all get through this - together.
