In the wee hours I really do have too much time.<br /><br />RV Vagabonds,<br />Thank you, my mission is accomplished:)) I remember he was really cute and had a nice voice.

I need to work on the sleeping part.<br /><br />Djan,<br />You get a lot of exercise which I think is key. I need to do better. I too went back to sleep but not till I wrote this post.<br /><br />islandwonder,<br />I was pretty sure no one would believe me if I claimed it. I did like the smile on his face. <br /><br />CArolyn,<br />Even my daffodils don't know what to do so I think a bear has a right to be confused. GO HOGS.<br /><br />merrylee,<br />You mean Miss Piggy isn't getting ready for winter? I thought that was why she was plus sized. Thanks for the link, I will check it out. <br /><br />Linda,<br />Thank you. I try to be productive if I can't be rested. <br /><br /> Angie,<br />Me too on the potty run. Yes they do give birth during the winter. Kind of a bummer for the cubs who basically raise themselves for 3 months. <br /><br />robin,<br />Oh I'll bet that bear cam is really interesting. Like I told Angie, I do feel sorry for the cubs but they seem to survive.<br /><br />Inger,<br />Oh dear, hope the squirrels are finding food. That is a concern for the bears also if they wake up. I heard they partially wake up for the birthing. Exactly what they do would be really interesting. <br /><br />Dianne,<br />Yep sure did. Fair play, if you find out first, let me know. <br /><br />Amber Star,<br />Hey, I will try it. It sure can't hurt. Some of our bulbs are sprouting here and lots of my plants have buds.This could be bad. <br /><br />gigihawaii<br />So sorry you are in the club also. The bad thing is that there is no one up at that time to talk to. It really is true that they give birth during hiberation.<br /><br />Wanda,<br />Thank you. I am so glad you were entertained. Actually, I enjoyed the process my self. <br /><br /><br />Oregon gifts.<br />You are right. Maybe they are on to something. Hope I don't have to get pregnant also to make it work. <br /><br />fishducky,<br />I am going to have to look up just what a fishducky is.<br /><br />Peter,<br />Welcome to the sleepless club Peter. I am afraid it is not too exclusive. Seals seem to have a pretty good life also but they do get eaten a lot. <br />I think if women could give birth in our sleep, the world would be grossly overpopulated. <br /><br />Betsy,<br />I sure am glad you are back in your routine. I wish I could nap but I just can't though I almost fell asleep in the dentist chair today. Seriously. <br /><br />LLCool Joe,<br />Joey, I am taking that as a compliment. Thanks. <br />Thank goodness for Sundays for you. Catch your ZZZ's where you can.<br /><br />Cheryl,<br />Ha ha, I think there would be lots more people on earth if we could pop them out in our sleep. I am so sorry you are in the club also. I go to sleep very easily, just can't stay there. <br />We got a bit of that storm and had high winds. Weird I tell you.<br /><br />Rae, <br />You too?? Isn't it fun??
