One of the joys... [View all]

... of living in rural Vermont is occasionally coming nose to nose with our resident bear. I shooed him away, but as soon as I closed the door he came back to nosh on what was left in the bird feeders I'd gone out to collect. Had to give him a blast of the old bear horn. Morning will show what's left of the feeders. Whatever. Sharing 8 or 10 feet of space with a black bear does get the old heart aflutter.
