Wild Weather & Large Bear!

TOE has been dormant as the world turned green

And, I'm not sure I can cover all I've seen

The monster storm that has ripped across the land

Got to the east coast yesterday and it was grand

Crazy wind, tornado warnings, a big thunder storm

More heat, moisture; this weather is looking the norm

Of course, there was snow on the northwest edge

Border to border, the country hammered like a sledge

But, the trees are greening, dogwoods are blooming

Figured it was about time for a bear to be looming

I've been taking down the bird feeders at night

Sure enough, I had that timing right

 Just 20 minutes after the power came back

I was startled by a large dog bark attack

There it was, a large mass in the yard

Lights on, dog crazy, adrenaline flowing hard

Ursa major was not fazed a bit

Until I yelled at him, OUT he should GET!

With no feeders, and a human screaming

He ambled on, shiny black coat gleaming

Didn't let Breyer out for another hour

He was wild, sniffing, snorting on a yard scour

Got no picture, he wasn't here long

But, not convinced he's really move along

Neighbors got his pic on their game cam

Camera not a thought with my adrenal slam

But, the bear and storm are gone

Clear skies, wild wind, cool linger on

Spring is here, no frost in the forecast

With hummers slurpin' sugar water fast

Time to brave the wind, pollen and bear

Gotta get out, a lovely day out there

Enjoy the charm after the storm

Today On Earth

To catch up the shaky world news

Just over 100 quakes 4.5+ giving locals the blues

But, no tsunamis from monster quakes

Another average week on the planet that shakes

A pretty average volcano list

If not in Indonesia; then volcanoes are missed

Over half for the week in Kamchatka or Indo

To see exploding mountains, that's where ya go

Or Costa Rica or Chile, either side of the Ring

And, watch out, Krakatoa is doing it's thing!

Tonight's sky will be bright with the gibbous moon

Winter's stars setting, spring's rising soon

The Big Dipper, in the northeast, out of hibernation

Part of the Great Bear, pointing to Polaris' location

The other side of the dipper to Leo's Regulus opposite

Where tonight, that bright star and the moon will sit!

Get out and check the sky out

But, for bears, WATCH OUT!!
