Lazy Bear....

So every year around this time, we have bears. It's no secret that they are around......we now walk with bear bangers in our pocket and caleb at our side........and normally they leave our yard alone until the end of the season when they can't find much else to eat. Soooo...they come to scavenge our apple tree.

One year, this big fat bear jumped up onto our fence, did a right rope walk for awhile til he got to the tree, then hopped his huge butt right into our tiny little apple tree...and honestly, that poor tree has never been the same since!

This year, i am assuming this bear got too fat or too lazy to want to jump the fence again....so he put his head down and plowed right through it!!

Hence, Chris in the background cutting down our poor apple tree....sigh! Well.....on a happy note: we had a great dessert last night with the trees last apples to celebrate its life!!

ah-wild life in the sticks!
