I always knew there were black bears that lived in our area, but we have lived here for five years and have never seen one. October 16th marks the day that I saw my first bear in the wild- if our backyard can be considered "wild," that is! Luckily our neighbors all came over to tell me there was a bear on the loose, so I kept the children inside. Matthew's preferred play area is in the dirt behind the swingset, so I was quite grateful for the neighborly heads-up!
The bear had been hit by a car on our street and had a bit of a limp. I hope Yogi recovers and is able to hibernate through the long winter!
