Making the Best Out of Summer

Like the bears in this frame (Jeanie and her cubs of 2004), I've been taking advantage of the warm weather to do some much needed exterior house repair and firewood gathering, except that bears are fattening themselves up for their hibernation season instead. I certainly don't need fattening up... anyway, my posts will pick up in frequency in mid-september. In the meantime, check out these funny bear links:
