Wild animals abound

So since living here we have seen tons of frogs, baby deer, families of deer and now we have seen the bear. Friday evening when we were driving home we almost hit one in the middle of the road. Then on Saturday morning, mummy woke up to discover that someone had been in her garden and eaten all of her corn. On further investigation, we discovered that it was a bear who pushed his way thru the deer fencing and trampled the garden to eat all the corn. Mummy was looking forward to trying that corn too!

Then on Saturday evening after we all went to bed, mummy and daddy woke up to hear something scrounging thru the recycling bottles (guess bears like beer and wine). So they went downstairs and turned on the light which frightened the the bear away. The light stayed on all night in case the bear wanted to come back. Sunday morning when we woke up we had discovered that the bear once again put another hole in the deer fencing and busted up the compost bin to sniff out what was inside. I guess it wasn't to his taste cause it wasn't that disturbed but it made for a fun time cleaning and disposing of.

But that wasn't all the bear sightings and happenings going on here. The other night just after dinner mummy managed to snag this picture of a mummy and her baby before they ran off into the woods.
Mummy is now investigating the price of getting a bear broof garbage can and has daddy all lined up to put the chain link fencing around the garden for next year with a covered top.
