Thanks for all your nice posts. Since the weather has improved 100% I have been able to spend time in my rose garden - something I just finished a week before I left for the Villages. I took some photos of my new roses to share with you.
Most days are still pretty boring here - after all the good times I can easily recall there, but, the sun has finally taken over and that is magic for me.
I do have a nature story that is probably something you can't imagine happening there. I heard a noise at my trash can, outside, and assuming it was the pesky raccoon that has been plaguing me lately, I ran outside with broom in hand, yelling some obscenity and instead of watching the pest take off - as was his typical response - I came face to face with a huge black bear. To make matters worse, Oliver decided to play hero and snuck out behind me and ran right up to the bear, barking as if he was going to take him on. My first instinct was to run back in the house and hope the bear didn't get it into his head to come after me, but, with Oliver in attack mode I just stood there, with no idea what to do. Well, wouldn't you know, the bear turned tail and ran with Oliver at his heels. He smashed through my fence and took off and thankfully Oliver didn't follow. Fun times - in retrospect of course.
Hope my note finds you all well and happy.
Katie
