Black Bears and Back to the Blog

Wow! I can't believe that I've neglected this blog for so long! I kept meaning to update things, but it hadn't happened. It is almost Christmas and I'm trying to get my act together. So much I want and need to do.

We've had a couple of face to face encounters with "Bob", our black bear. We've had our pickett fence broken down twice. First by Bob, and again, right after the new fencing went up, by a smaller bear. We lost a few feeders with those break ins. The feeders come in at night now. Bob has been on our deck a couple of times and we've gone face to face through the kitchen door. He's beautiful and scary at the same time. We've also found mom and baby bear tracks, and moose tracks. Our other visitors are some pheasants...black ones and ring necks, an oppossum named "Corky", and the usual cast of critters. Heard the coyotes last night, singing their song.

My internet business is going "nowhere". This makes me sad. But, I'm not going to give up. I'm going to do this right. If I can't have a storefront at the moment....I'll take this lemon and make the sweetest, yummiest lemon-aide on the planet! So in 2007 I'm going to put a big effort into it. I hear it can take a very long time to start an internet business being busy. So, I will not be a quitter!

I'm semi-back at my old Baptist church. I'm the only one though. I feel very strongly that the Lord wants the children in the big pentacostal church. They are being well fed there, and the little church appears to be heading for a major split. The kids are better off away from the battle.

The weather here has been almost "balmy". I can't stand it. This is New England, and Christmas is just days away. We need snow!!!!!!

Well, I will try to keep this up better. God Bless all who stop by and visit here! And Merry Christmas all! It's 10:56 a.m. on December 18th, 2006.
