Another cougar? Not quite.

I love to use the cougar reference any time I can because I love his face. However, this is not about a cougar but a bobcat. Drew was out at Porcupine Dam when he overheard some gentlemen talking about bobcats in the area. They were disappointed that they hadn't spotted any and that it's the right time of the year.

What does any real boy do when he hears something like this, he searches for the bobcat. Sure enough Drew came face to face with a bobcat and came home to tell me about it. Not even a week later when we had some free time, what does my real boy want to do? He took me to search for the bobcat.

It wasn't hiding in the same place and the ground was muddy so I hung back a little ways while Drew pressed on hoping to spot it again. As I was lingering halfway between Drew and The Hulk I watched Drew quickly draw his knife from its sheath and take a cautious stance. He stood there, wide eyed and searching for a few more minutes and then turned to walk back to me.

When we were both safely in The Hulk he said to me, "Did you hear it growl?" My response, "Yes, I didn't want to say it first because I didn't want you to tease me that I mistook one of your farts as big cat growl." Of course there was some laughter but we then were excited that both of us heard the growl.

I'm not saying this is the bobcat print but it was one of interest from our adventure.

Roska's Pottery is Back

Drew has been working very hard on his pottery this Fall. He will be selling most items and you will be able to view them at roskaspottery.blogspot.com starting sometime this weekend. I hope you'll take a moment to look over what he's made. Maybe you'll find a holiday gift for yourself or a loved one.
