Over the years, our yard has been a bustling crossroads for local wildlife.  We've hosted an array of visitors: moose, elk herds, countless deer, a curious weasel, a variety of bird species, and, in the early days, plenty of foxes.  However, we recently had our very own bear visitor.  This cub decided to stay for nearly an hour.  We never did spot mama bear.  

Emily switched flight schools and is now with Glass Cockpit Aviation out of the Twin Falls airport.  She likes her new instructor, Anthony, more than the one on Jerome but acknowledges the Cessna is not as nice.  

On her second lesson there she had to share the airspace with a squadron of F15s from Mountain Home that we in the area for some training.
