the middle of the night several times. That always means that Cocoa and Buck start howling an eerie, mournful sound and won't quit until the coyotes are out of range.Than we've had Oso the Bear who has finally discovered our garbage cans. For some time we'd seemed immune to Mr. Bear, but he's now found us. We'll need to come up with a system to thwart him if this continues.
Then the 2 - leggeds:
Ron, on the left in the photo, whose father was a friend of Scottie's decades ago, and Victor, who we've known for 10 or 15 years, came to visit for a "boys" trip. This is just before they headed up the mountain, and yes, Ron did have long pants in the van.
I could listen to Victor all day. He has a beautiful accent and a most interesting life story from fleeing Lithuania at 3 or so in a hay wagon, through growing up in Columbia, to MIT and onward even including an arranged marriage to the daughter of a friend of his mother. Plus, he's a kind man. When he got the old family estate in Lithuania back a few years ago, he deeded to house and some acreage to the long-term caretakers. I like that in a human.
Always fun to have good friends visit. Wen are YOU coming?
