I wonder how he got up there without tipping it over!<br /><br />And it is very synchronistic that we both found such a glimpse of those water diamonds shimmering in a spider web.

I don't think I really understood that you lived so close or rather that they lived so close to you. <br />It sounds like you are very aware of the danger. I also know that they can come right into your home if they want to because it happened to my daughter in law who lives in Colorado. She locked herself in her bedroom with everything she could possibly push up against the door. By the time the police arrived it had gone down stair and had literally ripped the door of the<br />refrigerator off getting into it. I am very uncomfortable around bears..very! <br />Cute though...oh so cute.Wsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233955033219125564.post-8532684801866038902012-08-21T22:36:44.497-04:002012-08-21T22:36:44.497-04:00Penny, this is the cutest photo.

But good to keep reminding yourself that Mama Bear is probably near by.<br /><br />Regarding a moss roof for your shed: just move to Western Washington and you won't have to cultivate moss on your roof, it'll just naturally happen. In fact, you can have some of the moss from our garage roof as a starter!<br /><br />Hugs, CarolCanadian Chickadeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995693884248628958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233955033219125564.post-72453892809949028532012-08-20T19:41:32.106-04:002012-08-20T19:41:32.106-04:00That little bear is too cute for words!
