On a warm Saturday afternoon around 2 PM EST, The Bear strolled into our driveway. Debbie saw him first and yelled for all of us to see. The dogs, who were outside but oblivious, started barking. The Bear headed north through the mountain laurel…

He then showed up in Ken & Marie’s back yard and took his sweet time while Ken took pictures and I took a video. Kathy, Debbie, Noreen and Riley all enjoyed viewing this magnificent creature.

It was tagged on its ears and has visited us in the past. The Bear especially enjoys opening bird feeders.

Hope to see him next year!
