Mosquitoes, maybe, but not bears! ;) I remember going to the dump to watch bears, too - VERY well! Mama Pea has some good stories to tell about up-close-and-personal visits Papa Pea had with 'em!<br /><br />Erin, let me get this straight: the tomato / tobacco hornworm is what turns INTO a hummingbird moth? If so, why the HECK don't they use the same name(s)?<br /><br />Patty, yes, very cool that you all got to see the bear, but NOT COOL that he wasn't intimidated by you / the vehicle!<br /><br />Oh, geez, Pink Eye?! Ohhh, how will you keep it from the rest of your kids (AND you & hubby)??? Since I've read what you wrote, my right eye has been itchy and sticky, but I'm HOPING it's PURELY psychosomatic! ;) However, given how I've been burning both ends of the candle lately . . . oi vey! Hey, at least it would give me a forced stay-cation at home! ;)Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-24922036545886234962011-06-16T21:11:56.500-05:002011-06-16T21:11:56.500-05:00I saw a nice sized bear last night on the way home...I saw a nice sized bear last night on the way home, on top of Papa Pea's BFF's wife's (got that?) dumpster. Not huge, but plenty big and not afraid. I drove right up to the dumpster and he stayed there for a while. We were close enough to see that it was a "he" when he jumped off the dumpster. Very cool, but a bit scary that he's not more frightened of people.<br />By the way, I apologize big time for this, but after spending some time with you at your office it became apparent that "Forehead Long-legs" has pink eye. :/ I sure hope we haven't spread it to anyone else!Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153751759157433693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-46364052451338617842011-06-16T11:15:49.947-05:002011-06-16T11:15:49.947-05:00Looks like a fantastic and relaxing time!
