So much for thinking "black" bear, and writing "brown" bear! I had brown on my mind yesterday, thanks to the tile and counters that we're putting in the kitchen! I can't get brown out of my head, but it's my favorite color!
Most people that live in the area that we are moving to are hunters. When we were looking at houses on the internet, many of them had bear skin rugs on the walls, which made us laugh. One house came to be known as the bear house, because there were bear rugs everywhere!
We decided not to look at it in person, thinking the guy probably just sat on his patio and was defending his house when he shot them!
I really would be shocked if we ever see a bear at our house. More likely, they'll be on the other side of the river, which is heavily wooded. Our house is on an Indian reservation, and the other side of the river is their timber land, which hasn't been logged. From what we've been told, they don't intend on logging it, and no one lives there, so it's a good area for bears to live.
I keep forgetting that our Realtor told us that there are raspberry and blueberry bushes on the property, but I don't remember seeing them. I wasn't looking though. If the deer don't eat them, it may be a good place to plant my daylilies!
