Don’t be fooled by the innocent look. This was taken just before she strolled off to tuck into a pile of you-know-what. To make matters worse, while bears do indeed go potty in the forest, they don’t use toilet paper, no matter what the makers of Charmin’ will tell you. Ahem.

After two whopping storms inside a weak, weather’s been beautiful for three days now, and I swear at least ninety new shades of green popped between yesterday and today. Seriously considering discarding the hat for tomorrow’s walk…
