It's a Bird, It's a Bear....

We had quite a scare this morning when Linda let us out in the backyard.  Chimi immediately froze on the deck and started barking his head off.  He'll only bark like that if someone is in the backyard and surprises him.  Instead of quick calling him back and locking the door, Linda had to go outside and investigate (just like they do in horror Syfy movies. "DON'T OPEN THE DOOR" but the girl always does and then you know the ending.)  This is what Linda saw.....
Her first thought was that there was a bear in the tree next door!  The second thought... a really GIANT turkey buzzard who came to get his revenge on Linda for her past turkey buzzard posts.  Whatever it was, Chimi was getting more spun up by the second.  Finally, she realized it was a man!  He was trimming Perfect Lawn Man's tree.   He climbed right up that tree trunk like a cat.  Linda really wanted to stay and watch him get back down, but she had to go teach.
