Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready.

We are seeing more bears in Connecticut and they are protected. Apparently they are coming to our state from the north as land is being developed. We are a very forested state so it is a natural habitat for them. But having them stroll down my driveway in the middle of the day is scary.

Hope you all have a great day!

One does wonder how effective their “protection” actually is ….

Good morning everyone. Thanks for the coffee Gerry. That's a good question Mad. I'm thinking the protections are good but are never enough given folks who ignore those rules.

Have a wonderful day everyone

(edit) But, the biggest problem/challenge I think is loss of habitat for these and other creatures. I don't know how you can solve that...

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. I'm leaving for State Conference at o dark thirty in the morning, be back Sunday. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Enjoy your trip Connie...safe travels!

Good Thursday morning. Hoo boy, glad yesterday is over. The wind was just wicked with the 92 degree temps. It blew over a heavy ceramic pot on the hummingbird porch which broke in two pieces. So I have a big mess to clean up out there. There were bad storms all around us, but we escaped with no rain.

Need to get out and hit my tomato and pepper plants with some fertilizer while they are blooming and setting fruit. I saw a couple of baby tomatoes yesterday!

Habitat loss is such a problem and causes our native wildlife to behave and move in unnatural ways. It's why I get furious when anyone threatens more incursion and damage to our state and federal national parks.

Good morning everyone.

I was all set to run some errands today but I've decided to be lazy instead. Our dance instructor is off on a conference somewhere so no class today. Tomorrow can be a busy day as I'll be up and at it for my Pilates class anyway.

Good morning everyone; 55F & raining - again. I remember a few years back we had a summer just like this, but last year it was very hot with hardly no rain, two day in a row it went up to 102F which we never get. The weather lately just goes in cycles. This year it's not good for my arthritis.

Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready.

Connecticut is a small state with lots of forests and where I live the small neighborhood is surrounded by several thousand acres of state protected forest land so we have lots of creatures that have taken up residence. A couple weeks ago around 5pm a lone coyote came out of the woods into my backyard and strolled across the street and back into the woods. That was the first time I saw one during the day. Other neighbors have had bob cat sightings on their ring cameras as well as bears.

I have to be very observant when I go for a walk or when I clean the birdbath or even sit out on the deck!

Happy Friday! Enjoy your day!
