Berries, bears and John Dillinger

Two more strawberries tonight. That makes it me 5 squirrels 2 and they haven't gotten one since the owl took his post. One more shrew in his food tonight. On top of that it looks like the Himalayan poppy as ready to show two more blossoms, PLUS the big plant with the wide leaves looks like it is going to pop a couple of yellow colored flowers in the next few days.

Went to see Public Enemies tonight. Good movie all around and I am continually amazed how Johnny Depp can be so credible in so many different roles. They made Dillinger a little more human than my impression of him has been and funny but in all the pictures i remember seeing of him in Life magazine, I don't remember a smile even. Of course in all those pictures he was headed into jail, so perhaps it was a not funny time for him. They did show the time he broke out of jail using a gun he carved out of soap though i didn't catch that they showed it being carved or that it was made of soap. The biggest surprise, though, was that the lady in red wasn't in red at all but in white and orange. Now you have to wonder if the story was just myth and the movie got it right or if the movie played with the facts to avoid the cliche. At any rate a good movie especially now that I can go to a movie for less than the price of a $15.99 DVD. Now that i only use a gallon of gas to make the 50-mile round trip that is.

So, the topper for the day? Besides the strawberries? I saw a black bear cub amble across the road on the way home.
