Mental lets hope it stops raining soon. I am already looking for wood for an ark. There was a moubtain lion spotted on Windy Hill road a few months back. Someone posted its picture on the big site. My daughter saw a bear cross the road about a mile from here. Usually wild animals avoid people. I don't blame them.

Hello

Well, I guess I will have to start looking for more evidence
of a mountain lion I have a game cam picture of
coyote's eating on a deer.
One of the coyotes was huge almost wolf like. I have read
about coy wolves which is a coyote and wolf combined
I have had my share of bad situations as well arrow. I just try
to keep a positive attitude and a jar of fungi available.
It helps with the positive attitude.....
The jar
It helps
Are the rains going to stop today. A freaking downpour yesterday
Seems like the rains never stopped. I love it though. I love when the creeks are full
Hard to get across some of them though especially for The Totos!!
I am glad it is Friday. It has been a long week and I am looking
forward to the weekend

Yes mental, there are both moubtain lions , bobcats and wolves in these moubtaibs. I was stabding by the kitchen window on the Mulatto washing dishes one day. I had had a german shepherd but shs had died and where she had been near the old rock celkar I saw,a brown creature standing on to of the rubble. It was a big mountain lion. I called my husband and son and we all saw it. We often heard it scream behind the old miner cabin down the road. We called it Max My kids saw both a bobcat and wolf there. There was also a white buck in that area. Where I am now a big black cat has been seen and we believe it may have been an escapee from the zoo that used to be down the road. Development has forced a lot of animals into contact with people. A neighbor on the Mulatto got up one morning after grilling the night before to find a besr looking at him through his glass door. I listened to his call on my scanner. The game warden I talked to about the mountain lion told me that unless it threatened my animals or kids toleave it alone since they were rare. People actually scare me more than any animal with their cruelty.All my life I have had to make the best of bad situations. It almost makes me look forward go leaving this world. Theworld being left for our children is notgoing to be one worth livibg in I think.

Hello

Hello arrow. That was a great story! I have found that black bears
want nothing to do with us humans I have never been approached by
a bear when hiking. I was grunted at one time and I left the area
I never saw the bear
Do you really think there are wolves and mountain lions in this area?
I hike a lot of miles in this area and have yet to come across any sign of either
wolves of mountain lions. I know several people who claim to have seen a mountain
lion and they are reputable people
I would love to see either.
It looks like rain again all day. No sunshine can play with my emojis. At least I'm getting
some spring cleaning done.
I hate change too arrow. I would hate to have to leave where I live now
but I know that day will come.
Try to make the best with what you do have

Mental No I didn't get to see the eclipse. It was cloudy here so I didn't bother. It dropped the temperature but never got really dark. A funny story about a besr on thr Mulatto. My kids used to hike that mountain all the time. One ****y oldest found a hunter up a tree his gun lying on the ground at the base . My son asked him what the heck he was doing and the hunter said he saw a bear and asked my son to go on up the path and see where it was. My son looked and saw tracks but no bear. It took him half an hour to talk that hunter down from that little tree. Had the bear wanted him it could have easily climbed that tree. I am still so homesick for the Mulatto. But I can't wait until some of those outsiders now living there run on bears, kr the wolf and mountain lion that used to live there. They may have been run off like I was by now.

Hello

Did you see the eclipse arrow?
I was able to see the eclipse but it was cloudy.
I was able to see it through the clouds. It was interesting
I cant even imagine what the people on this planet
thought when they saw an eclipse way back.
I had a visitor the other morning. A young black bear
came looking for my bird seed. Not my bird seed the birds
bird seed. I dont eat bird seed. I buy bird seed.
I was able to watch the bear through my window
So majestic. I think the black bear is one of the
most beautiful creatures on this planet!!
Next to The 5 Totos and Sexy of course
Looks like another rain hike today. At least
the temps are mild.
I love this time of year!!

Mebtal I feed the birds also. Something keeps stealing my suet feeders. I think its a raccoon but I guess it has to eat too since the neighbors dog steals any scraps that gets put out. I don't think there will be much luck seeing the eclipse.

Hello

So today is the day we hope to see an eclipse
I read we can see some clouds later I hope it doesnt interfere
with the eclipse.
I will be viewing the eclipse with The 5 Totos, Sexy
and a fungi!!
I will most likely be seeing more than the eclipse!!
Hello arrow. I dont own a lawn mower. I cant remember the last time I used one
I go all natural with my grass. The pups keep it pretty short though
Six dogs eating grass right before they throw up
keeps my yard looking very manicured!!
I feed the birds and squirrels every morning. I had 16 different types of species
eating the feed on Saturday. From red and grey squirrels and chipmunks, to every bird you can think of!!
I love nature!!!!

I am so ready for it to get warm and stay that way. Then we can complain its too hot. I prefer hot any day. My neighbor has.already mowed his grass. Ah the dulcet tones of the gas mower . My daughter won't mow this yard until the bees finish with the dandeliions . She is a naturelist at heart. Mental enjoy the day, I plan too.

Hello

Well, it looks like we are going to get some nice weather today.
I saw we are going to be cloudy tomorrow for the eclipse
I hope not because the next one comes I think in 20 years
I will be 55 then and I dont know if I would be that interested

Arrow my bones ache so bad when we get that cold weather.
I feel if I fell I would just shatter into a thousand pieces.
At least it is supposed to get into the 60's today so that will be nice
Maybe I can find some more wild flowers!!

Hello

OK Look
I love all the seasons. Each one is special
in its own way. But each one needs to come to an end
so the next can begin.
It was 19 degrees this morning with the wind chill!!
At this time where I live it is 29 with a 21 degree wind chill!!
I AM OVER THE COLD!!
My pups will not stop clinging onto me
I almost broke my neck going down my porch steps
due to THE ICE!
My hair froze on my walk this morning
Im sorry but I need to go get another blanket...

She won't starve abd that I am proud of. There may come a day when those who can't grow won't eat. Its sad our children don't know basic survival. My favorite plants to grow were African Violets. My daughter knows which wildplants are safe to est and which are not. I was,all for spribg myself. This weather makes my bones hurt.

Hello

Hello arrow
Yes I know it snows in April its just I did not see it coming
I think it was the late 80's when we had that big April storm
I usually listen to music so I dont keep up with the weather.
I am having fun finding some of the early spring wildflowers
Trout lily, bloodroot, common blue violet, yellow violet
chickweed and I even found a dwarfed ginseng!!
That was special.
Well I hope your daughters lettuce makes it.
I am not much of a gardener. I would most likely starve
if I had to grow my own food.
Hope you have a great day arrow!!

Not that unusual mental. We usually see snow around Easter in these mountains. Then we get what the old people called Sarvis winter when the sarvis trees start blooming. Then dogwood winter. I have had a terrible time keeping my daughter from planting anything the cold could harm. She already has lettuce up but its under glass. She tajes after me since I loved growing plants. My mom talked about seeing snow when she was a girl in June. Don't worry, its not likely to last long since the ground is too warm now. Just enjoy it.

Hello

I read we are in a winter advisory
What in the world happened?
I was out sunning myself just the other day with the 5 Totos and Sexy
and now the weather is saying we could see
up to 4 inches of snow?? 4 inches of snow??
Well, off with the bathing suit and on with the multiple
winter clothes!!
