ellyssianHmmm... might make frasadillas for the cookout on Monday... have to taste test the sassafras leaves first and make sure they're ready.
A few odd dreams, one might have a story in it. Strange off-beat stuff.
The bear (one of, rather) walked up to the back of the house, nearly to the deck, and then right under the family room window, about three feet from the house. It was Justin's first sighting. One of the smaller ones - only about two hundred pounds. From discussion with my neighbor, there are at least one of about twice that size. Another neighbor sighted a mom with four young 'uns crossing the street down by the old mill stream (at the end of the block and around the corner.)
Deb reported that after the bear went around the corner, it seemed to have been spooked by something and took off across the the neighbors yard. Maybe Tanis or Tika chased it off?
Wrote a birthday present for my dad last night - it's on the other laptop. He always said that when things go really bad, at least it helps me write some really good stuff - well, in this case, it's not really good stuff, but silly and whimsical, a look on what might have happened if he was able to become what he called a Gentleman Farmer (owned the farm, didn't have to do the work.) I'm willing to bet if that had ever happened, you wouldn't be able to stop him from working the fields, especially if he had a tractor. I'm still considering holding off on posting it until his actual birthday - most of you know this will be the first where he's not in attendance, but if anyone wants to catch up on the backstory it started here and is summed up here - but he either already read it or isn't ever going to, depending on how that stuff pans out...
