  Pumpkin Patch ...   35:14

  It was about 83 or 84 degrees today and 53° tonight.

Thanks for the nice words about my art.  It was done about 1984.  My oldest daughter, Susan's boyfriend helped me with a project that I was trying to get done.  I made the drawing for him as a gift of appreciation.  He said if his house ever burned down, he'd grab this drawing and his dog and save them.  I should have reminded him that if my daughter was at his place, she'd better be first on that list.

I'm glad to hear you got your booster shot.  I am still waiting on mine.  As soon as I can get it, I will.

Sorry Cal.  I have no idea what those trees are called.  I just am not very smart about trees, I'm afraid.  I would ask a parks person or a lumber person.  Maybe send photo to your state dept. of agriculture Extension Agent.
Anyway I want you all to have a good warm and safe day Wednesday.

  Mountain Collie ...  28:54      It is  81° and sunny.   😎🌵🌴🌞

  Sorry Cal, I can't tell what kind of trees they are.  I think I've been in the desert too long ...  Google trees of the place where that photo was taken.

You asked where I got my vaccine shots, Cal.  One of the hospitals here organized a big drive-thru "event" ... didn't even have to get out of the car to get my shots.  I got the Moderna shots.   My Pharmacy doesn't seem to know when I can get the booster, though it sounds like I should be able to.  I think I will call up the hospital that I got the originals from.

  I hope that you both are having a good day, or at least a decent day.

hi you guys its 37 here my computer is so slow i think its time for a new one what a pain. got to fill out these questions for firebugs insurance they sure are dragging it out. lots of stuff what do we use the property for how often do we go there jim mad said none of their business their client started a fire and burnt it to the ground he is liable our lawyer says that too. 3 raccoonies in the barn saw my little possum at 6 last night out the window it came early good got food before raccoonie crowd came and i saw again at 3:30 am so waited till almost 4 when it moved on to let the hounds out those girls loud talkers jumping up 150 lbs apiece i threaten them with my cane cause i cant be having that jim yells he just yelled at them get down get down..girls give me some of that energy and be able to walk like that!!

Hi Neva! still in the 80's and sunny! wow. i would get tired of same weather every day do you? and of course i like cold weather and snow better than rain and mud but ice is bad. if you get ice there i bet lots of wrecks cause not use to that hope you dont get ice. bella no driving on ice. we got our vaccine thru a drive thru too natl guard ran it at an old parking lot where a huge store was. booster at walmart yes so nice a drive thru i was happy for that i would say neva you should be able to get that booster dona got that moderna and her and joe go the booster tuesday at their hospital or dr. please call them and see!  i think the trees are maple the leaves look like my maple trees here so maple it is. im not so worried about that tvs like to sit in dead trees so they could use those if they wanted i dont recall seeing any around there. jim got my flat tire off yesterday in the garage he really struggle too said he doesnt see how they expect a woman to change a tire. he took it over to justin and i had a hole in the middle of it. just a hole no nail nothing a hole so i feel very lucky it held air long enough for me get back home with it. i checked it before i went to the barn and still holding air but soon i will go to ford get new tires that will be all morning hate that.

Hi Joho! i saw chiefs lucked out aaron rogers has covid he will not be playing sunday here! he never got vaccinated so lots of questions there they said. i dont know if he said he did but he did not. so maybe we will luck out and win sunday but really we do not look like a superbowl team this year not even a playoff one not yet anyway.

Cold here but clear.  Only 41 at 10:45 even with the sun.
Not much going on today.  Took a nice long back roads color ride to Berlin Heights yesterday. Very scenic route along the Vermilion River valley.  Stopped at favorite orchard ( McDowell's) for a small bag of Johnathon apples, and a few nice pears.
 I like the ride so I get only a few, and go back sooner than later.  Her church was selling great looking pumpkin roll for $12.  I did not need it but am glad I got one.  It is delicious.  Saved half for later.
Did a really old man thing yesterday for the first time.  I put on a trial pot of French's (thank you) chili with sausage.  Before I left on my ride I spooned out a dish for Debbie to try.  When I got back home from my 4 hour ride I found that I had left the ladle in the pan and the stove still on.  Luckily I had the lid mostly in place so that the liquid in the pan did not all boil away.  I mean lucky I came back when I did, it was thick, but no scorching and chili tasted great. Whew!!!!!  Another few minutes would have been too long.  Thank you God.
For today not much to share yet.  I will check on cams now and cul.  GB

No bears at WRI - UPDATE November 5, 2021
Red fox
Red fox
After checking the trail cameras for the last several days, we can say that the last bear left at 10:42 PM on November 2. What we see now are a yawning red fox, 3 raccoons, a dozen red squirrels, and lots of birds.

At the Bear Center, recent action included Tasha showing us how she eats an egg. She nudged it with the end of her muzzle and licked up the egg, including the shell as is shown in "Taught’s" 1½ minute video. Tasha eats an egg - 10/30/21 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4kxzcG8N2A

Ted and red squirrel

Other action was Ted sharing his food bowls with a red squirrel. Somehow, the squirrel got the bigger bowl but both look contented.

Today, I responded to a writer’s request for info about bears and a couple hours later saw a nice article that was interspersed with many great pictures that were fun to see at https://www.boredpanda.com/funny-bears. Lily and Faith from April 8, 2011
Lily & Faith- April 8, 2011
In fact one of those photos is ours! (shown below) See their photo #6 and here is the update we published that photo: https://bit.ly/2ZZnvC8

Also, a nice surprise was someone discovering a 2009 prize-winning book by best-selling author Jake McDonald titled “In Bear Country: Adventures Among North America’s Largest Predators” that showed black bears in a good light in a chapter “The Man Who Talks to Bears” (Pages 149-164) about a 67-year-old man who comes off as a bit of a character.

With bears gone from here for the year, I’m looking forward to 2022 and the Black Bear Field Study Courses that are filling up fast. Seventeen spots are open in the courses of July 4-7, July 11-14, and August 1-4. See more at https://bit.ly/3mOFDHA

Thank you for all you do.
