I learned about this first from Oma.  Her brother sent an e-mail to her, that’s how she learned about it.

A bear was saved from Rainbow Bridge, in California by . A bear had fallen and caught himself (or herself) to safety. Later, the next day, some people had a net under him (0r her) and shot him (or her) with a trans (whatever gun). He (or she) fell into the net and he (or she) climbed out when they got the net to the bottom. Click here to see where we got this picture from.

I learned that Rainbow Bridge was built in 1925 near Lake Tahoe near California. The capital of California is Sacramento. California is west of us. If you go west of California you will get to the Pacific Ocean.

Silly me, when Momma said when the bridge was built (because it says above the bear) I thought she said the rescue was when the bridge was built. I asked her “how did they get the colored pictures?”

Here is a poem that would be like one that my great grandma would have told me. She liked fall. She liked the leaves changing colors. We went on walks and watched the leaves fall.

While we were walking today we saw leaves falling and geese flying. That means it is almost fall!

I like the fall. I like to jump in the leaves after we rake them (so raking ties in with one of my favorite things in the fall). I like to find leaves and press them. I like to pick apples and make APPLESAUCE!

Something Told the Wild Geese

Something told the wild geese
It was time to go.
Though the fields lay golden
Something whispered, “snow.”
Leaves were green and stirring,
Berries, luster-glossed,
But beneath warm feathers
But something cautioned, “frost.”
All the sagging orchards
Steamed with amber spices
But each wild breast stiffened
At remembered ice.
Something told the wild geese
It was time to fly –
Summer sun was on their wings,
Winter in their cry.
