Ramona doesn't like

the bear poop in the yard. No kidding, I have cleaned up maybe thirty pounds of bear poop the last few days. They are coming over the fence in the dead of night and eating my apples. I don't know why I didn't notice it until most of the Red Delicious were turned into bear poop. Then I got out the ladder and picked all the rest I could reach. But the bears are still coming though I don't know how they are getting out on the thin branches for the remaining apples. They have been getting over the fence without doing much damage. I guess they're somewhat considerate, for bears. They arrive when we're all sound asleep, shimmey up one side of a tree until they are above the fence, swivel around and shimmey down the other side. But I do a complete Border Patrol before letting the kits out. Ramona says bear poop is yucky. I agree.
