I guess it's a good year for peaches all around. And that's a good thing! That bear! Wow. If he lived down here he'd be looking for a swimming pool or else just head right over to the beach and have a swim in the ocean!

You need a special license and can only take one, no cubs. The bears typically don't linger, unless you leave garbage outside. They mostly are just passing thru, and stay tucked away in the woods. I've never heard of any incidents involving humans being harmed here by a bear. They tend to pay us no attention, and I think would only be a problem if you came upon one by surprise, especially with a cub.

Sadly I don't see an 'at home' weekend with an available slot to do that. <br />So.. do the 'people in charge' do something about the bears in town or do they just tell the town folk to stay away and let them do their thing?

The orchards in the area have said they'll be thankful if their harvests are 40% of normal.

Ugh!<br /><br />Sounds like a great weekend! I'll be assisting my dear friend with the burial of her precious Mom. They all live in Orlando,Fl but here was home for most of their lives so they have brought her back here for services and burial. Talk about a lot of orchestrating from afar. Goodness, all kinds of issues to deal with when flying a person's remains across state lines. So glad I could be on this end to assist.<br /><br />Daughter and I are off for our last Hoo-rah until our Dallas trip in two weeks. Nothing like mother/daughter fun!<br /><br />Happy weekend!Lea @ CiCis Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252011706208068724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-39441534683645892202014-07-25T09:00:10.734-04:002014-07-25T09:00:10.734-04:00What a great series of bear pictures.
