Hi everyone, it's a glorious day in the mountains. I think we had a bear raid our bird feeders last night. Cracked the heavy plastic on the sunflower hanging feeded and knocked down the finch feeder. Other neighbors have had the same issue but I didn't take ours down, hard to know where it/they roam.

Well at least it had a snack! Sorry for the damage though. My Sister went to the smokies last fall with the in laws (while family thing) and she said there were bear claw marks on the side if their deck when they got up one morning!

Our brown and cinnamon bears usually stay way, way back in the forest and rarely come in. We really don't like it when they start coming in for the garbage cans and bird feeders. Our cans are secured but it's time to take the feeders away. Our hot tub is empty now, so I think we've taken care.

Too bad you weren't around with your camera. That would have been quite the sight. Been gone all day, was Joe's birthday. After the gym we went to walk to mall. This is something I abhor but he loves to do. So every couple of years as one of his presents we go to the mall and walk around. Did that for about 90 minutes, he was happy and I was glad it was over. Then we went to the Dollar Store so he could pick up tons of school supplies to donate to his church's school drive. The it was off to "The Taste of India" one of our favorite restaurants. Now I'm home, feeling fat and sassy and a bit tired

Evening here, supper done and kitchen clean. Dealing with a UTI so just resting as the med makes my stomach a bit queezy. So just spent the day finishing my book The Lost Girls of Paris. I read it in 4 1/2 days. A great book.
I am glad you had a good day Huronna...except maybe for the walk. Lol
Tell Joe happy birthday from the AL Gang.

Yes, Happy Birthday Joe and glad you survived the Mall. What a sweet thing to do. Sorry about your UTI Anita, miserable stuff. I'm reading Anna Karenina by Tolstoy. I've read a number of his short stories and War and Peace and since I've seen the movie/play eons ago decided to finally read it. It's hilarious!
Bear came back last night for my hummingbird feeder. Meant to take it in but forgot. Duh. Didn't break the bottle but did break the plastic band. I think I heard him in the deep reaches of my slumber.
