How goes it?

Hi Sue: Yes, it's a wonderful time of the year. We celebrate Samhain in this house. There are many trees on the property and I rake up lots for the compost and also to dig into the beds. They usually compost over the winter. My problem this time of year are the bears that come around, right up to about ten feet from the back door. When working outside I have to always be looking around. Carol

"the bears that come around, right up to about ten feet from the back door."

Oh, now see, I just could not live there.
(shaking head from side to side). LOL

Adirondack (Cindy Lou) is a dear sweet friend on this board and she is one brave lady .... she will come there and shoot those bears and hang 'em on the wall! lololol

That ain't me babe!

Just got word from a neighbour this morning that there is a huge black bear around (we have the largest ones in North America. Got to be really watchful when outside gardening right now. This past week during the night I've had huge plant pots tipped over, one suet feeder gone, can't find it and another one beaten up. Oh well that's the way it is this time of year!

Sue Z,
How did your Halloween go?

Was thinknin' of your pumpkin's..
and the vaseline trick...
*(I was takin' our pumpkin's back to
the compost pile and they were ripe..
was wonderin' about the vaseline for the
compost pile and how it worked in there??

Anyways, hope all is well, and NO BEARS..

How's Adirondack?
Haven't seen her in a bit, feelin' better?
