I was sitting at my dining room table typing up yesterday’s post, when I heard the faint rustle of the apple tree out the open kitchen window. The forest was perfectly quiet outside. But there was the distinct rustling sound of the apple tree.
So I went over to peek out the window … and lo and behold! … look who’s getting a back scratch!!
Scraaatchy! Scratchy! Scratchy! Scratchy!
Scraaatchy! Scratchy! Scratchy! Scratchy!
After a little bit, the bear wandered over to the plum tree. I immediately pulled up the Ring camera on my phone so I could watch it. The bear sniffed around but wasn’t all that interested in the plums. It seemed that itch just wouldn’t go away!
The bear plopped down and had another good scratch!
Scraaatchy! Scratchy! Scratchy! Scratchy!
The bear then wandered back over to the apple tree … might as well take advantage of another good back scratch!!
Scraaatchy! Scratchy! Scratchy! Scratchy!
Scraaatchy! Scratchy! Scratchy! Scratchy!
Isn’t he beautiful! This is the closest I’ve ever seen him!
Oh … wait a minute! Gotta stop for another scratch!!
Scraaatchy! Scratchy! Scratchy! Scratchy!
The bear moseyed around the corner of the house and meandered on across the backyard, towards the far corner.
Thank you God for surprising us with blessings on normal, ordinary days when we least expect it!
