Cassi Creek: On this last day of June 2013, we had an
unexpected visitation. About 0930 A
black bear rambled through the front yard and into the upper wooded portion of
our property. Had Gloria not seen it
before I did, we might have thought it was a neighbor’s Newfie. She, however, had a couple seconds longer
than I to identify the animal as it went past the window.
We did a
quick check to make certain it was not gobbling birdseed or humming bird
food. It vanished into the undergrowth as
quickly as it had appeared.
Spent a good
deal of the morning looking for a painting of Hidatsa dog dancers as painted by
Karl Bodmer. Quite an elaborate costume
as ordained for one of the dog societies that existed in the 1830’s in the
lands of the upper Missouri River.
