Lions, and Tigers and Bears! Oh My!

All of you have heard our bear stories and the mountain lion from a few years ago, but we had another visitor last nite! Our outside dog Lucy ( the kids call her Mindy) started to bark like something was terribly wrong! Royce grabbed a flashlight and bravely went out onto the front porch, when he came back in his face was white and his eyes were as big as saucers, He said there was a big mountain lion out on the side yard by the trampoline. Yikes!!! It ran off and the dog barked for quite awhile, We called Crystal and told her when she got home from FHE she needed to call and let us know she was here so that Royce could walk her in from the car, we didn't want her to be a tasty tidbit. So there will be no more romantic moonlit walks, at least for awhile!

Garage mural

A couple of weeks ago, I spent some time in Utah while Grandma Larsen had some surgery. To pass the time we attempted to paint a mural on the side of the garage that faces the back yard, I didn't have a camera, but Shayle took a bunch of pictures and she has posted them on her blog www.James-Shayle.blogspot.com if you want to check out our "masterpiece"
