Bear-Proof Fence?

Old Transparent Apple Tree, 2001

This picture from yesterday’s post had the following description attached:

Transparent apple before bear

It turns out the barbed wire fence Andy, Kaitlin and I built around the garden/fruit tree area kept out the deer and the elk, so the transparent apple tree thrived. Until, that is, it had a bumper crop of apples and a bear broke through the fence and tore down half the branches to eat the fruit.

We then had the barbed wire replaced by a (hopefully) bear-proof chain link fence.

Have you ever noticed that success sometimes brings its own set of problems?

    Yes, but that is life! Cause and effect can often offer mysterious developments! Just look at Iraq!

    almost every single thing I do around my home
    I eventually think to myself,
    I would have been better off leaving it alone.
    I’ve been told that
    I create my own chaos.
