...what do you think of when someone says "Florida?"
Might cause thoughts of sandy beaches, sun, palm trees, maybe even a seagull, dolphin or a flamingo....
Well, here is a little story for you.
So, last night I was taking a shower....which was good for me, as it had been two days. Anyway, I was about to begin the shaving process when DW says, 'I think I heard something outside'. About this time, our killer cairn terrier starts going crazy- mind you, this is about 8:45p and both boys are sleeping. I was about to throttle the dog for barking like that in the house, especially if he woke them up!
So, there I was with a towel on, going to look out the windows near the front door. Gretchen was in tow and looking out the other windows.
I notice some movement in the front yard and can make out a bag of some kind near a very large and dark object. I think that there is a person out there and they are stealing things from our neighborhood, as most everyone has some kind of decoration in their yard.
Then suddenly the bag is dropped and the dark object begins to move toward the house and through our front yard.
Yeah, it was a VERY large black bear. Just turning over trash cans and ripping open their bags of trash, in our yard!
It walked about 15 feet from our front door, then between our house and the neighbor house.
Our neighborhood backs to the Reserve that is owned by Eglin Air Force Base (the largest in the world with nearly 1 million acres of forest).
It was pretty neat, but scary too as we have been outside at those times before.
So, I just wanted to share that we have already had a "Beary" Merry Christmas!
we weren't able to get any pictures of it, our digital camera broke about a month ago, and in the commotion I couldn't locate the video camera until it was already gone.
