Visitor for Mother's Day

We had a very nice Mother's Day breakfast that, of course, included bacon and cinnamon rolls. Yesterday the kids and I went to Home Depot and bought a bunch of flowers and pots and planted them out back by the pool and we were able to keep it a surprise until this morning.



We went to church and Junia's class sang songs for the moms.


When we got home and were getting out of the car I heard a sound over by the neighbors gate and looked up to see a bear head poking through to have a look at us. I asked the kids to go right inside while I pulled the camera from my pocket.

By the time I got the camera out he had one back into the yard and I saw him climb up on the block wall and over into the next yard. The neighbor there saw me, opened the window and asked what was going on. I said, "the bear just went in your back yard." Her husband went to have a look out the window and said the bear had gone over the next wall and into Jim's pond.





He seemed to be having a good time cooling off and trying to find the koi.

Then Don the next neighbor came along making noise to scare him away. Bear climbed out of the pond, back up on the wall, across the next yard, up the next wall and he was then gone.
