Amongst the trees in our backyard, Lois and I ate lunch with our grandkids--Sarah age five and Andrew four. They love listening to stories about our encounters with local wildlife. It was also an opportunity to refresh what they should do if they happen upon rutting bucks, coyotes, cougers, bears and rattle-snakes.
Andrew asked if we had seen our perennial mother bear and cubs. "No, not yet," we told him, "When it is cold, they sleep in their den."
Later in the afternoon, I poured some juice for Andrew and asked, "Do you want ice with this?"
Andrew mused, "Yes, because bears don't like the cold."
