It is still very hot and very dry. After dodging the proverbial bullet all the way into the early summer (not counting the forest fire just that had been just north of town earlier), forest fires are erupting at an alarming rate. Several per day! And ALL are human caused. THIS HAS TO STOP!! The whole southern BC is under a total fire ban and yet morons are having camp fires that end up becoming forest fires, accidental equipment failures and car crashes are starting forest fires, and so on. Human stupidity knows no bounds.
We had a bear visit again this week. Sue and I were sitting out on the back deck one afternoon and a mid sized black bear came strolling up onto the rock at the south end of the deck. He looked at us, we at him, then he just shrugged and continued on his way. It was kind of cool.
The crows are continuing to come by, several times a day, for handouts. Now however its not just Beaky, its her partner and their 2 almost adult offspring. Beaky has now taken to not just looking in the front window but also sitting on the deck chair and looking in the back window. If she can’t get our attention, she knocks on the window. We had started to hand out dry cat food in order to supplement the wieners, pizza, bread, table scraps and so on that we’ve been supplying to them. They seem to like the cat food, its not messy, and its easy to deal with. Win win for everyone.
