Well, a bear just might be able to put a paw in there! We had a bear attack in the mountians just today. With all the fires around us, and the lack of rain we have lots of preditors coming down into more populated areas looking for food and water.
After losing sweet little "Fern" to a Bobcat, it made us build something that would make it much harder for a Bobcat to get the three remaining kids.
Well, it is not much to look at. But, it is very strong and hopefully secure.
Here is the front while it was still in the process of being...
Here is the last photo of Fern. She was such a special kid!! Very friendly. Loved everyone!

Today while looking at some new photos of the grandkids, I noticed one face that looked very familiar. I had to then go searching for the photo that I knew had pretty much the same face! I think my grandson Jonah, looks very much like my brother did at about that same age. I think my brother is...
This morning I took a couple of photos in the garden.
