THE BEAR THAT WANTED STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

GRUMBLE, GRRRrrr...WHERE'S MY STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE?

BAYFIELD STRAWBERRIES ARE RIPE!

Tuesday, 8:00 AM.  Wind NW, calm.  The sky is blue except for some haze, the humidity is 75%, and  the barometer predicts rain.  Not now, maybe tonight is my guess.
    We went to Duluth yesterday on business  and saw few signs of the recent flood, but heard many tales of flooded basements and roads out, etc., and neighbor Sam the coast guardsman next door told us about the Bayfield unit taking its air boat to Duluth during the flood and rescuing people from flooded homes just south of Duluth along the St. Louis River.  He said it was a real flood with a lot of damage and some precarious situations.
    Yesterday a large bear ambled through our backyard at dinner time.  He would have appreciated a bratwurst but what he really craved was fresh Bayfield strawberry shortcake, with whipped cream, of course..  The rascal got neither. Sam happened to be on his deck and caught it on his Iphone camera.
