Encounter with the Moose Family

I left to evaluate a possible escape route and what did I see but the

moose family. I could not step backwards to get out of the way,

the slope was too slippery. I decided I would try inching very slowly across

the yard between Mom and her little ones. Then we all four started to

move! I sped up and bounded up the first five stairs.

I went inside for water. Then Dennis burst in announcing the bull was on

its way. We quickly descended those stairs and saw Poppa coming along our first

terrace path at a clip. Poppa trots across the yard heading for Dennis.
