We all come with expiration dates.

But TD's time has not come yet... :)

I Live in a Zoo : )

I really do. And I'm loving every second of it! : P
So to date, let's see who I've had the privilege of meeting and greeting.
Birds of various kinds, all sorts of insects for meals bein sur, and no garden would be complete without squirrels.
The raccoons have a go at the trash at night, and the deer have mutilated our flowers.
Snakes come and go, most are harmless so we're not alarmed but I'd appreciate if they made friends with the mice and found themselves another place to hang out at.

Yesterday I met the baby frog who had made itself cozy on the patio chair. And the day before that? Bats! Yes, bats. I knew about the possibility of seeing a fox, but a bat? Weirrdd. Now the fox was a beauty, I only saw it once, she/he stood very graceful, unafraid. It's moments like these that I regret not having my camera glued to my hand!

But wait, the best is always saved for last. My mother's voice woke me up today at 5:30 a.m
And for what you may ask? A BEAR! LOL! A BLACK BEAR with 3 of her cubs in our backyard!!
How insane is that?! Now I'm usually very groggy when I wake up but when I heard bear, I jumped as if the bed was on fire! Out came the camera and we filmed them as they were trying to find something to eat!
We felt so bad since there wasn't anything she could find to feed her kids. They rummaged a bit through the trash and disappeared into the wooded area.. I went online, found myself a wildlife rescue number and called. And guess what, it turns out, they're our neighbors! How crazy is that?!
They've been seen before and there's nothing anybody can do about them since this place was/is essentially their home. But what if someone gets hurt? Black bears are known to be mostly harmless. What that means is, if the animal is not cornered or threatened then it would not attack a human. But this bear of ours has cubs, and it's known that a sow will not have a problem ripping my face off if she feels I'm a threat to her young. Talk about ferocious motherly love.
You'll find some good tips here on what to do if you ever encounter a bear. I pray you never do!
AAaaaaaa!

It's been a Year

Passing Time

Your skin like dawn
Mine like dusk.

One paints the beginning
of a certain end.

The other, the end of a sure beginning.

Even After All This Time..

Even after all this time,
the sun never says
to the earth,
"You owe me."
Look what happens
with a love like that -
it lights
the whole world.
