Good Feelings - UPDATE July 2, 2024

Family eating peach pie gifted by Lily Fan
The last few days have been a time of good feelings with family and see good feelings in bears. The story began when our daughters Colleen (on the left) and Kelly (on the right) came with the four fun grandkids making me have a good time being the old grandpa. Then a Lily Fan who is vacationing in the study area got wind of it and baked us all a beautiful big tasty peach pie. The picture is of the happy time of eating it a couple days ago that Donna captured with her cell phone.

Snowball and Twinkie
Then, yesterday, yearling Twinkie stopped by. While he was here, Snowball joined him for a few minutes and left. I don’t know where she went, and neither did Twinkie. For about a half hour, most of his time was spent looking one direction and another, making me think he was missing her. Eventually he climbed a tall white pine for an hour nap, mostly hidden in the branches. Then I saw him coming down, looking in one direction—at his sister Snowball. Their reunion at the tree was heart-warming. They put their faces together gently for several minutes, touching noses and cheeks. They just seemed happy to be together.

It was good to see.

Deer
Sleek female deer

Very different was a sleek female deer coming up from the lake alone, warily looking and listening in all directions before proceeding. I suspect the scent of bears made her double check the area though bears in this area of peaceful coexistence pay little or no attention to deer, squirrels, chipmunks, and woodchucks.

Thank you for all you do.

6;47  I am late getting on here today. I have yet to look in on cams. Nice out, but they say rain is coming.  Never did get here yesterday.
 Happy 4th to EV1
Debbie is still laughing about that dog who is not allowed on the couch. LOL  So are Karen, Susie, Kelly , and me. I will share it with more as soon as I get done here.
Went to see some fireworks with Karen last night.  It was great.
Will go to her house this evening to watch the National fireworks on PBS.  Maybe New York too.
Bye for now.

Just popped into the bear cam.  I am seeing bears on the Pond and some den cams.  This is a rare treat for me . Thanks whoever is tracking for us.
Happy 4th of July!!!!

I wish I knew who the bears are.  I went back to see the TV babies.  The poor things a frozen with fear from the lots of loud booms going on there.  I thought it was gun shots at first, but there is too much variety of loud sounds. Darn.
Earlier I watched them feed.  Boy they are aggressive to Mom or maybe Dad.  The adult walks away from them for a while.  Then pauses, and they run up and get into her mouth.  This repeated quite a few times until she flew out the open door.
Going back to the bears now.  Debbie is anxious to go there in just 9 days.
CUL EV1 have a safe day please.

WOW! 5:07  Great for me. 
Good morning EV1.   Someone just moved the TV cam to see our babies in the straw.  They look good. The big black bear came to eat the seeds at the Snowman cam at about 12:30.  I watched him as he spent time with the feeder.  Then in just a few seconds he flipped the table onto the snowman and shook all the grain off onto to the ground.  You can see through the table that all the grain drops right off.  So all he has to do is lay down and eat it all. He is BIG.
Lots and Lots of geese on the Decorah cam, but now panning the sky.  I see a lone baby eagle across the field from the North cam.  The GSB falcon cam is still doing highlights.  The Flyway Cam is showing a nice calm view of Ol Miss. flowing gently along. Don't see anything on the NABC bear cams.
OK now I will go get started.  CUL EV1 GBU, Israel, Ukraine and all those suffering.

Did not do much today, but going over to Karen's in a few minutes.  We will sit on her very nice porch if it is nice.  I will invite her to go to some music at the lodge. It is some local people who get together and jam on Friday nights.  The leader lives next door to me and sounds good on his guitar when he practices on his front porch.
Did not see many animals today, because I was napping a lot.  LOL  Tried again to enjoy some soccer.  Did not work.  Looked too artificial to me.  Easy shots missed several times.  So score after an hour of same ol same ol still zero to zero.  Found some of my Friday gold miners, but it was a rerun.  So I came back on here, my computer.
Need to go see Karen soon.  So CUL EV1 GBU

4:41  Really fast for me.
Got an early start this morning.
Really enjoying listening to the North babies squeeing in the broken nest tree.  They like to hang out near each other.  I like that.  The TV babies are really getting big and have a lot of black coming in.

Soon they will be looking out on the world from the upper window and the door.  Soon after that they will take wing and soar.  I will miss them, but I am very glad they are here for now.

Well I will let you go and I will go back to watching cams for a while.  I did see Karen for a while.  We played poker, and she gradually lost all her change to me. LOL  She keeps track of who wins. LOL  So I will be hearing about a rematch soon.

Bye for now GBU , Israel, Ukraine, and all who are suffering.

6:05 Nice out again.  Cloudy but still dry. Don't know temp yet .
Did not see Karen yesterday, and probably won't today either.
Need to start packing.
Things look normal on the cams.  Snow is intact this morning.  TVs starting to move around a little. Got a text from Iowa last night.  She wants to try to see me on Debbie on the porch.  I told her we would spend some time out there as time and activities allow.  We will be at the center early on the 14th and again on the 18th afternoon.  See you then maybe.
Now I gotta get meds and coffee started.  So CUL EV1 GBU, Israel, Ukraine, those suffering.
