It's Back ...

Jasmine & Riley watching Bird TV

As you can see, Bird TV is back.

I couldn't take the sad faces.

I now put the feeders and suets

out in the meownings.

It's for their entertainment

 as much as it is for mine.

Even I enjoy a little bird action in the meowning.

Each night I take the feeders and suets down.

It's been one week since my bear visited.

When thinking it over,

 which you do when a bear visits,

I can think of four or five other times

 where I heard a late night noise.

The suets had been knocked to the ground.

One time the feeder pole was broken in half.

Each time we thought it was the local raccoons.

Yes, I have several of those.

Mr. Boatman even thought it was a deer.

Anyway, I am a slave to my cats.

They just looked at me this meowning

when I was about to sit down.

(Imagine first cup of coffee in hand)

Like ... What did you forget to do ?

(As only a Siamese can make that look)

And, I answered them with ... Turn TV on .. duh.

(Riley was already looking out the window

 and had turned back to me with that orange look.

 One eyebrow up.

 With the, Hurry along now, look)

Garage door opening for the second time

 before seven am.

(The pleasure in that would be

 that it might wake up my teenage son.)

And, now that my work is done

 I can enjoy my meowning coffee.

How's your meowning so far ?

Does anyone else get bears ?

Black Bear .. not taken by me

Update ~
 I called the number listed in my county for reporting black bears.
 They really were of no help.
I actually asked her if she wanted my address.
 I asked what they do and she said write it down and
if lots of people call they send someone out to look around.
Basically, nothing.
She said it would probably go back to the woods.
 I live by the woods ...

The bird feeders have been taken down

No more bird tv

Last night there was a huge noise

I ran downstairs

Ok, I walked very fast

Opened the front door to see what was going on

And, there it was

I closed the door so fast

And yelled

BEAR

A black and brown bear sat on my sidewalk

Only four or five feet from my front door

It went to the driveway after a while

Just sat there

Mr. Boatman got his big light

He flashed it at the bear

through the window

It finally went back into the side woods

That surround our house

At least we think it did

Was after ten and very dark out

Black bear .. not taken by me

You could hear noises around our yard

Like it was getting into garbage cans

(Tuesday is our day)

We took in all of our bird feeders

The bear had tried to get the one

That hangs from the tree

that we see from the den

I have a number to call

to report black bears

Now what am I going to do

to entertain these kitty cats ?

And, what about the bird

feeders and the new bag of

bird food ?

Mr. squirrel and his wife

are eating the seeds that are

on the sidewalk that were left behind

Does anyone else get bears ?

Do you still feed the birds ?

Let me know please ....
