Saw the bear

We have finally seen the black bear. Our neighbor, Florence, called last night while we were having a small dinner party. She said to look out our window in the hot tub room because he was standing up at her sunflower feeder. So we all rushed to the window and could see him in the shadows. Then he dropped to all fours and went over to where our floodlights were on behind the new picture window, walked around where we could all see him. When I went to get a camera, he took his big paw and bopped one of the pink plastic flamingoes in the back yard. I was sorry to have missed that. We were all very excited.

I have one more booksigning before Christmas--this Saturday from 1-3 p.m. at Jabberwocky Children's books in downtown Fredericksburg. See you there!
