Polar Bear Attack!

Well, Higher Ground is located on the Gulf Coast, right on the very edge of the Great State of Confusion. Seasons here are Hot, Unbelievably Hot, and Not Quite As Hot; we're presently in the latter. Below you'll see the view from the Big Black Truck, taken on the way home from Occupy Workplace. We're in for a chilly few days with nighttime lows right at freezing.

Preparations have been mighty. Fortifications of PVC and acres of frost blankets cover the gardens (Thanks Rapunzel!), the henhouse is battened down and high carb treats served for the residents bedtime snack. The Noble Steeds are snug in their blankets, generously served with hay, and extra rations were provided for the Barn Kitties.

But wait! The Dynamic Duo (our Collies) report something unusual out by the barn. Rather large, pleasantly plump? Big ears? Big dark eyes! A Polar Bear? You've got to be kidding....ah, its sort of green? Hmmm, No mystery there, it's just a Broccoli Stuffed Sicilian Donkey in her Jammie's (that broccoli bit is a whole 'nuther story),
