The State of PA finally released my license plate so I can venture out legally now with the 57 project. I gonna guess the trees are gonna be at their peak around here in the next handful of days.

Family piled in the 48 today and drove to the apple orchard. Had a great time running around the orchard and pumpkin patch. The few splotches of fall color remaining were in places you couldn't park so no pictures :(

My Bride has a thing for Pumpkins so we go every year to a friends farm and pick a bin of them and she puts them all around the house and garden as fall decorations. This has gone on for about 15yrs and there was never a problem, occasionally the squirrels would tunnel into one or two of them but for the most part they went unmolested.

This year has been different, a couple of mornings ago we awoke to find about a dozen small pumpkins gone stems and all, and a couple of our largest ones near the front door all clawed-up and gnawed on. Apparently Black Bear are very fond of fresh Pumpkins, the Bride is not happy.

I failed to see any claw or bite marks in the first photo you posted??? The face must have scared the bears.

 

When we lived in Tennessee after Halloween my wife would toss the pumpkins over the railing on the back deck and let them winter there. Then the next year we did not have to buy any pumpkins.

We do the same Don, and they grow, but the Deer eat the flowers as fast as they open and we never saw a pumpkin make it yet.

Bears?

I got a bear that, if he can't reach the feeder from the ground, he will circle around the house, get on the deck and pull the feeder up.
