Forgot My Camera

As my husband and I were driving up South Fork to check on one of his construction jobs, we noticed something on the side of the road. It looked a bit like a dog from a distance. As we approached in our car, it was clear what we were looking at. It was a brown, curly tailed wild pig. We glanced in the field across the road and saw this brown, curly tailed pig's extended family. There were at least 20 pigs of all sizes and colors. The largest looked to be around 200 pounds and the smallest was probably around 30 pounds. Wish my camera was with me!

SnaP, CraCkle, PoP

As I sit at my office desk I can not avoid multiple yawns. The last few nights I have been awakened by the sound of large branches snapping off of the tree outside my bedroom window. Apparently, Mr. Bear thinks this tree is a great midnight hang out spot.
My lovely 30 ft. tall tree is now bare in the midsection. In my opinion though, the lack of sleep and damaged tree are fine trade offs for the opportunity to live in Three Rivers. The thrill of wildlife surrounding us never gets old. We are blessed!
