Spring Brings....

So, spring is here! The grass is starting to turn green, my plants are starting to sprout. The snow is pretty much all melted away; There are birds chirping. I even saw a butterfly while I was basking in the sun on my front porch yesterday....

Know what other sign of spring I saw today that totally threw me for a loop?
Yep. A freaking BEAR!

No, not these bears. I love theses bears....

Who expects to be driving blearily towards town, anticipating that McDonald's mocha and parfait pick-me-up because the construction crew showed up and I had to move my car anyway, when I look over to admire the sunrise over the fields and see..... A bear.

I had to stop the car and just watch for a few minutes before the black bear ambled off. I did try to take a few pictures, but I'm afraid that they are about as high quality as the Loch Ness Monster pictures of the blurry Big Foot pictures that are floating around out there...

Real Bear Hugs May Prove Fatal

Ever stop to wonder if the big foot picture was just a big hairy Yooper out for a walk? They did try to find Big Foot down by Baraga, just south of me, you know.... Hmmm....

Anyway, back on topic. Blurry bear pictures. Well, I would post them but for two reasons. One: the bear looks like a blurry black blob. In my defense who in their right mind is going to get out of the car to take a picture of a BEAR? That's just stupid! Two: I have somehow misplaced my camera between here and the barn. I know it's in the car somewhere, but not quite sure where....

If I find it, I promise you guys will be in the top ten to know. Mostly because not that many people would actually care about my blurry bear picture.

But really. A bear.

Edited to add: 

See that black dot? That's a bear. A real, live, bear.
