When the restaurant to the left of Bear's house bought the house to the right of Bear's house and tore it down for a parking lot, my bet is that he felt pretty exposed. The outhouse and pump are in the back, but they had to move his mailbox, his laundry line and I guess his driveway. They got finished burning (see scorched tree) and bulldozing last week. Where is he hiding out?
PS The before pic was taken in happier days when the mallard of the duck/basset pair was alive. I have not seen the old basset hound, who mourned his waddling friend quite vocally, either this year. Yoyo, the stray bitch, is, however, alive and well. She grinned and wiggled all over she was so happy to see me. Hoping I had her friend Ruca in tow.
Is it hot there?
ReplyDeleteI'm literally dying here.
What will the new owners do with the empty lot?
I warned you. Thomasville will be gentrified. Largely thanks to your cosmopolitan presence.
Someone must know where Bear is.
It is ac most of the time. But in the evenings I sit on the porch and watch the traffic with a fan blowing on me.
ReplyDeleteThe empty lot will be parking for the River's Edge Cafe. Also I will be able to spy on the congregation of the Shady Grove church.
No Bear tracks yet.
Boy it really takes you back to think of someone who can't be tracked with a cell phone....lucky guy...too bad for you
ReplyDeleteI think I would miss the old house now gone...looked like a good one and I can understand feeling exposed without it....change is a bitch
