Life in Penn's Woods


"She Who Must Not Be Named" isn't going to put seed in the bird feeders this year. She says it's because of the squirrels, but I suspect it's because she saw this photo.

Actually something like this not beyond the range of possibility. One day a few years ago "She" stepped out the front door of our mountain home to tend to her flowers and saw a black bear standing about twenty feet away. It looked at her..., they locked eyes..., and it ran. They say that animals can sense things about people..., hmmm.

Later we found the shattered remains of our neighbor's bee hives. Apparently that's what attracted it, but after its encounter with "She" it hasn't been back.

Smart bear.
