I am loving the bright sunshine and cerulean sky this Monday morning! The various shades of green are sparkling and birds are singing, sometimes making nests where I would prefer they not do so. Although I have not seen evidence of bears in my yard, I assume they are wandering through. A neighbor up the road has sustained damage in her yard, even when feeders have been taken in. Too bad that bears don’t munch on black flies and ticks!!
