I am proud that I still can mow the lawn even though I am belted in the seat to keep from falling off.
I was mowing our backyard when a big black bear decided to pay visit. He was trying to climb into the window of our chicken coop. I starting to drive towards him while yelling at him. At about 20 yards away from him, I knew he wasn't afraid by the noise to run away, so I turned towards the back deck, disengaged the blades, and yelled to my husband as loud as I could " BEAR". My husband came out with his "garden rifle" and yelled louder than me at the bear to leave. The bear stood up and gave him two high fives. (Sounds funny now but it was truly scary). My husband shot high and above the bear. That was enough to get the bear to leave the yard and head back to the woods.
I feel pretty good that I was able to handle a stressful situation and get help.
