It's Been A Busy Summer
Happy October,
Wow! I can hardly believe how busy the summer has been. Had lots of visits from family, along with haying, building, painting, cutting lumber and trying to finish projects.
The wild blueberries didn't do well in our summer heat wave, so I didn't get any picked! I feel bad for the bears who depend on the berry crops to fatten them up for
winter.
We have had a few bear encounters- momma and her 3 cubs were passing through when 1 cub got way behind the others which caused a bit of concern for us as we were so close to the cub. Momma did a run at us, however it was just a bluff thank goodness!
The other night when we got back from haying, in the dark, we were surprised by a bear chasing our minature horse with our quarter horse chasing and trying to hit and bite the bear to save his little friend! It was quite the scene! The horses are not hurt and the bear has taken off to who knows where.
Then our friend got between a momma bear and her cub! He just about got attacked but managed to put his 4 wheeler in reverse before she got to him.
There's been a coyote hanging around the cabin,too!
All in all it has been a very interesting summer and am looking forward to some down time to create some paintings and do some woodworking.
Hope all of you had a great summer.
Blessings to all,
