Black Bear Water Cooler.....

"But I just filled that bird-bath!" she exclaimed.
"Just your good luck, not waiting 'till later," I replied.
I continued on, "That's why you always fill the bird
feeders first. You never want to get caught with hands
full of bird seed. Hands are just toys to bears."
"Don't you mean dogs," she affirmed. "Hands are just
toys to dogs," she repeated, "Not black bears. Bears
are just stomachs with legs, they'll eat almost anything."

Spring Hawk.....

It was against a bright, spring blue sky,
that we first caught sight of the hawk.
"Probably a broad-wing," I said to myself.
Almost before I completed that thought,
she asked, "What kind of hawk do you
think it is?" My safe reply was, "I'm not sure."
Seems that's my permanent plan now......safe play.
