Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

[room onthebroom]

The window spider is gone leaving behind lots of webs, 4 empty egg cases, and lots of dessicated insect bodies. Perhaps she went to find a winter hibernation place or perhaps that crazy catbird finally managed to get her.

I’m not sure how to ‘like’ this.

Spider gone =pro.
4 empty egg cases =con.
Desiccated insect bodies =pro.
Hibernation & catbird dinner =mixed.


In an effort to say something nice, sorry this episode of your entertainment is over.

You’ve just got to aim better next time.

Ponders good morning one and all!

77 mostly cloudy 93% humidity feels like 77 rain 24%.

Have a great day!

Beautiful autumn colors and temperatures - why am I uneasy? Oh yeah, cold and sky dandruff are on their way. Am I a pessimist or a realist?

So... 2 nights back... I heard something..


I looked out, a black bear was crawling into the back of son's truck to get the trash we had put in there that day.... and run out of time to take to the dump.

Son was still awake... I told him... he is all "WHERE are the guns!!!" (They had been moved) then he was "is it legal? Is it in season now?? I CAN'T REMEMBER!!!!" I had no idea, and said so... so he said "Fine! With the airsoft then!" (To hurt, make him run off,but not wound) And I just said "son, son, remember the cost of replacing the back window of your truck!" (The way everything was setup, the back window of the truck would be the backstop of the shot). His response to that comment was funny because he was so incredibly deadpan and matter of fact "I won't miss"



I then remembered the marksmanship competitions he kept winning......


Anyway...

Lots of trash has been cleaned up... truck took a load to the dump... youngest reinforced our trash box (bear had broken into it).

It turns out we COULD have killed and eaten the bear, the season is open.... ah well.....

I’m torn between and. Glad he doesn’t have to replace the back window of the truck, and that the trash box is reinforced. Sorry you missed out on the opportunity to put meat in the freezer.
