Bearly Awake

Last night we were laying in bed when we heard that darn raccoon in the trash again!!! Eric sighed and I said don't worry I'll go, (this is a regular event in the summer) usually I just open the slider and yell at the raccoon it runs away and all is well. As I approached the door I was prompted to turn the light on before I opened the door, I flipped the switch and to my surprise it was a HUGE black bear inches from the door. I'm so grateful for the prompting to turn on the light, I'm glad that I had the sense to follow it and that I'll never know what would have been if I hadn't.

You may have become bear soup :-) I know it is scary but how cool to have such a connection to nature. It is unfortunate that nature has to come looking for its food these days in our trash cans.
