    Are you wondering why your rain barrel is nearly empty sometimes when you thought it should be full?
    Maybe these pics will reveal the mystery...

    That was funny. BUT I am glad this isn't in my yard. I have never seen a bear before, although I have heard of reports of them in the area.

    Cute series of photos Henry! My neighbor has a pond so I hope the local bears would head there rather than my rain barrel ;)
