Dear Lily:

Another Accountable day, one month and ten days of Accountability!

A neighbor took a video of a cougar right outside the house, and I’ve seen photos of cougars along the walk.. and I saw cougar prints in the snow, and tree trunks scratched by cougars, so yes, cougars are here. There is something about the face of a cougar and their unmistaken predatory look  that scares me. On the other hand, I encountered a brown bear (cinnamon color) on the back deck and was not scared, probably because of all those cartoons showing harmless bears, and cuddly stuffed toy bears.

Poppy seeds- delicious on bagels and sweetened in pastries.

Offline feels good to you- I hope you continue to stay offline. Good to read that you like human connection. I do too.

Till tomorrow!
