LightBears

It’s Spring and the days here in Maine are actually getting into the 70’s at last! my daffodils are finally (tentatively) starting to bloom, and the pussy willows on my willow tree are gray and fuzzy like little kittens about to be born.

I have inserted below a number of images and advice that I copied from FaceBook. No artists’ names were posted with the images, so I regret that I cannot give honor to the true source of the wisdom I include below.

At this time, I would like to urge all my readers to approach the land with care, with love, and with gentleness. This is a delicate time for many of the creatures who have been sleeping, or in antifreeze-induced hibernation (frogs, some insects etc).

And, of course, the bears are waking up and they are HUNGRY!!!! they won’t find Goldilocks eating their gruel — but they will be searching for berries, nuts, whatever they can get into their hungry mouths.

So, it is a good time to think about — and actually follow through on — taking down your bird feeders (I know, it’s so lovely to have the birds at your window) because you are risking having a bear either knock the feeder down, bend/break it, or even come knocking at your window! for everyone’s safety, please take care.

Please, my friends, remember our friends in Nature and be gentle whenever you can!! Thanks.
