... is the big black bear thirty feet to the right of the turkey. Timothy pointed outside this morning to show me the turkey and when we looked closer, there was a beautiful black bear staring right at the turkey. He wandered off before I had a chance to get the camera, but we saw him a few minutes later loping out in the back field where we have quite a wild strawberry patch. So amazing!
We've actually had quite a bit of animal activity since yesterday when the farmer finally got the first cutting out of our field. It's been such a wet summer, he hasn't been able to hay at all. Lots of birds circling, looking for newly homeless mice I imagine.
Speaking of mice, Timothy has quite an obsession with them. He likes to draw pictures of Tucker chasing a mouse (his description of the image) and talks about mice gobbling up various things (stemming from a great book about a big red strawberry, a little mouse and a big hungry bear). Recently, this has combined with a desire to keep Shawn or me in his room at night (in his new big boy bed!) when he tells us that he is scared. "What are you scared of?" we ask. "Mouse" he replies. "Why are you afraid of the mouse?" "Mouse gobble up." "What's the mouse gobbling up?" we query. "Timmy's trucks." Ah, we don't want to lose those.
It's pretty cute.
