It's an interesting phenomena. <br /><br />The bear comes around, and I believe she has a cub, but I never see them, just their scat under the trees, as I did last year. I saw a doe and her two fawns in the back yard this morning. That was fun.<br /><br />It is the simplicity of life that speaks to me now. What next? I'm thinking sweet corn, a bushel to freeze. Right after I make these pies and cobbler.

Most of the bear sightings around here are in the late evenings, just after twilight. Isn't it funny how when you live in the woods and you sit outside after dark, how it becomes a whole other world, what with the deer and the bears and God only knows what else ventures out in the dark of night. <br />I live close to Honobia, Ok, home of Big Foot, so anything goes.<br />Snapping beans.

Do you say bears ? Oh, take care of Buddy. And of yourself ! Or maybe it's better to take care of the bear. Now I'm confused about the words take care!!!! There is also a man called a caretaker. Stop.<br />I love the taste of pecan. I only know it from the pecan-cakes I buy each Saturday. I have looked in vain for pecan-nuts in the shops. The first time I heard the name pecan was in "When Harry met Sally" where he wants her to say P E C A N P I E.<br /><br />Have a nice Sunday!<br />Grethe ´)Thyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06784021614587470421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-71030403645752475842011-08-28T09:54:52.205-05:002011-08-28T09:54:52.205-05:00Hi Gigi, Help yourself! :) I do have very good n...Hi Gigi, Help yourself! :) I do have very good neighbors.

Can't imagine how it could get any better. Not having kids, I missed a good many years of seeing Mr. Rogers regularly. But, he sure could make a sick day better. If I had to miss work with a cold or flu, he was right on the list of must haves; kleenex, tea and Mr. Rogers. Good for kids and adults. I agree, he was kind, good soul.

My former mother in-law made mock apple pie with zucchini, gave it to her hubby, who scorned zucchini even while he was eating it in a pie and declaring it yummy. It takes on the flavor through cinnamon and sugar, I suppose, the texture when cut up being similar. That's my report on mock apple pie.Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-61892887249438045522011-08-27T18:03:10.809-05:002011-08-27T18:03:10.809-05:00Hi Friko, "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood"...Hi Friko, "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood" was a show on our public television station that was around for most of forever, it seems. He had this very gentle nature that was sweet, but often the topic of parodies and comedic skits. I liked him and encouraged my sons to watch.<br /><br />Big fun on the way!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Jeanne, Thanks for reading and commenting. It's a common concern in various parts of our country, too. Zucchini seems to self propagate. Anything with chocolate chips is definitely edible. I'm not sure what Riverrock is, but I assume it's music.

"Oh yes," said the local, "otherwise you'll come back to find it full of marrows" (that's British for zucchini). <br /> Unfortunately all the gardens around here (KS) seem to have tanked this year.
