It’s a rainy day today, and the start of a week of rainy weather, but until today the weather has been beautiful, sunny and warm. We’ve been getting in a lot of cycling, including rides to the library (and ice cream store) with Iris in our new bike, and a few towpath rides to Easton. The trees have been enjoying the weather too, they’re in full bloom and the pollen is off the charts, but overall I’ll take it.
We managed to see a lot of wildlife on our towpath rides this week, tons of turtles as well as deer, a great blue heron and a bald eagle. The biggest excitement though was just outside our door yesterday, and we missed it…
A Bear In Bethlehem!
That’s the current excitement — a young bear was in our neighborhood yesterday, captured on various Ring cameras and making the local news (in the video you can see our friend’s house, right up the block from us). It’s kind of weird, the bear seemed to be hanging near the local playground, where we’d also seen some ducks hanging out recently — maybe that little park is looking extra hospitable these days?
With today’s rain we opted to take Iris swimming, and we’ve been playing indoors all day. Tonight is ukulele night at our place.
