Well it happened oh so suddenly; as most great momments do. Let me explain, I was up in the bedroom, changing for my annual Kurn Hattin business meeting ( deciding on which of my huge selection of dress pants to wear) & handling a real estate call , when I turned to go back to my closet when out the window I saw it just stepping out from the woods unto the lawn ( far corner back yard) between the well cap & the last bird house. Yes you have guessed it; It was "Black Beauty" no not the horse but in fact an Unbelivable big black bear ! AS soon as I saw it he must have sensed "Big Woody" ; and who knows maybe the woodchucks have been a talkin as there has not been a woody sighting in 6 weeks on the Mtn. but back to the "Main Event" For whatever reason he decided to show off & show Big Woody that there would be no shooting of any kind ( camera or gun ). Big Woody yelled to Mrs Woody ( in school room) & she was able to enjoy the event as well!
A couple of things really stick out vividly from this incounter with " Black Beauty "
1) This bear was the most gorgeous shade of black that you can imagine black as black could be & its coat was shiny, almost alluminating. and
2) This bear was taking no chances that Big Woody was in a foul mood ( obviously hasn't been keeping up with the blog - Woody trying to be nice )! or maybe it thought that I was sitting with gun loaded & waiting in the wings! But back to point #2 - This bear could run - he decided to book it & put on a show. He certainly did as he looked like he was shot from a canon! Reminded me of the line from - Sugarlands " Twice The Speed of Life " CD you know the one about 'all you see is arses & elbows' ( enough of the racy stuff Lillie might be reading this.
Horse Racing has a saying " The fastest 2 min in sports " while " Black Beauty " certainly reflected that & then some. Well needless to say the heart was a pumpen & Mr & Mrs Woody were treated to something special on the Mtn.
Closing Thoughts on "The Event" Just like that day in Sept 1967 when Rico caught the little pop up & the Red Sox won the pennant I will remember Sept 22, 2010 when Black Beauty decided to put on a private show for Mr & Mrs Woody in the Thearter known as Moose Mtn.
Who knows what today will bring!
Ta Ta 4 now,
Big Woody
