We continue to make progress on the outside area prior to the approaching winter. Brent got a new chain saw on Friday and promptly put it into use. The side area of the house has been cleared of some small trees and rhododendron trees growing up the side of the hill. We are planning to locate a swing in a dug-out of the hill with a few steps to the platform.
General Kudzu (the name for a black bear) made another appearance over the weekend. Brent was outside with Cookie when the medium size black bear suddenly showed up near them. Brent was able to pick-up the door and made it into the house without any incident. Brent just raises his arms above his head to make himself as big as possible, avoiding any sudden and/or threatening moves. Again his concern with the front door wide open was that the bear might go inside the house, so he slowly moved forward which backed the bear up and allowed him along with Cookie to go inside and close the door. Once inside, Cookie begins to act brave as she quickly made her way upstairs to the deck overlooking the bear and began to bark.
This week Brent and Jennifer will spend all day Saturday in Knoxville, for all the pre-game activities and attend the Tennessee- Florida football game.
