Has anyone seen our Saturday mail? We had our neighbors' mail in our
box, and nothing for us. Dan was expecting at least three films from
Netflix. We were hoping that it was merely misplaced and that someone
would let us know where it went ---

This showy flower, Gaillardia pinnatifida, is in the Asteraceae. Look
for it up and down Magnolia Road and in meadows.

This sounds like the same bear that has been pulling over our trash can
to get the cat litter out. That's all that we put in there until the
morning of the trash pick-up. Its happened about three times, and I'm
surprised that he or she has not found better places to look for food.
If this bear is the one that we saw Sunday evening walking through our
yard, its a medium-sized, blond-brown bear. This was about 7:00 pm. The
bear saw and/ or heard us from about 200 feet away (we were behind our
wire fences) and left the area after only a minute or so.

And while we're on the subject of bears...I have had several encounters with
bears during the day. This shift toward diurnal activity strongly suggests
that their fears of humans which made them nocturnal have begun to erode. I
expect more in the future. Please do whatever you can to make noise, throw
rocks, (rubber bullets???) to keep them safely afraid of us or they and we
will be in a pickle (sweet or dill I'm not certain).
