Perseid, Mountian Lions and Bears oh my...

The Perseid meteor shower was a bust on the 12th due to the cloud cover last night Aug 13th was pretty good though, we saw ~20 streaks and a couple 1/2 sky long sparkler tailed meteors streak across the sky.  Rose and I, Crystal, James and Jason watched the sky from ~10 to midnight, the bugs stayed away for the evening, oatmeal pies, and popcorn was the preferred snack of the evening.

Rose and I went to get a haircut yesterday, talked to a neighbor there who said that our plow guy saw a Mountain Lion a couple days back.   Hmm, maybe that's where all the local deer went.  And maybe that's what spooked the fawn and had it tearing through our field in such a hurry a few weeks back.

We were driving home from New Boston Ctr on Rt 13 yesterday and had the good fortune to drive up as 3 Black bear cubs clambered across the road, 2 made it across easy enough as all traffic had stopped at the sight, the third cub decided to run back from where he came from and up a tree.  No momma bear in sight.  Not wanting to disturb them we drove off once the road was clear.  I had my camera phone,  there just wasn't time to take a shot, we were in awe of the spectacle.
