I wonder if it’s the same bear who went to the zoo the other day.

I guess he heard Trader Joe’s was a …
…wait for it…
bear market.
The swamp where I volunteer has an area that is fenced in to protect plants and trees from deer. The fence is plastic. Bear will sometimes pull the fence down and enter. It looks like that happened about a week ago. Fence was ripped and there was fresh bear poop where we were working,
It is probably still in the protected area since it is loaded with skunk cabbage - one of their favorite foods.
I am not enthusiastic about working there this Friday.
5 miles south of Morristown.

hopefully there’s a great opportunity for monarch butterflies to fill in this summer. Such a peaceful place.
Well in addition to the woods, they like to do this in front yards, too. Oddly enough, the door bell canners didn’t pick it up. Gracie was not amused.
