Sheeeee's Back !

Just in case there was any doubt that spring has officially hit North Brookfield (and I know there could be some doubt; I mean we had the damn heat on just a couple of days ago!) our little furry friend is back. No, not Interloper Cat (more about him later…) but our mother black bear (see The Bear Story). No sooner than when Mrsfabp restarted her early morning walks with a friend now that the weather is nicer, we got the call from the neighbors. The black bear was back; she had again wakened them at 3:30 in the morning and had done so by destroying 3 bird feeders. The Great Seed Robbery! Couldn’t we just get her a gift card for “Feathered Friends” so she could pick up a couple of tons of sunflower seeds?

(Not our Bear, but an incredible simulation of the great seed robbery!)

As I begin my early weekend coffee drinking on the front deck, I will again be on the lookout for her. I think we have to give her a name and I was thinking back when my kids were young and collegeboy was a baby, his first teddy bear that he was able to name himself was “Beary”, a large abused bear he used to sit on all the time. My offspring had a way of understating the obvious. Remember, milliejupiter called the first cat she could name “Black Coat” which we shortened to BC because we didn’t want to have to pay for his therapy bills (See a history of our cats). So Beary it is, at least for now.

I will continue with the up to the minute “Beary” updates when they become available…
