Bears

Went for a walk around the neighborhood the other day.  And I noticed an odd phenomenon -- teddy bears and pictures of rainbows in the front windows of some homes.  Why?

Turns out that parents are spreading the word over social media, asking people to place stuffed bears and rainbows in their windows to create a social-distancing-approved scavenger hunt. The teddy bears idea was inspired by a popular book and song for preschoolers called “We’re Going On a Bear Hunt.”

Both the song and book start out:

“We’re going on a bear hunt. We’re going to catch a big one. I’m not scared. What a beautiful day!”

The bears and rainbows scavenger hunt is a good reminder for kids (and adults) to look for the good in the world at a time of uncertainty and worry.

When I got home,  I searched the grandkids' toy box and found this cute (yes, this old man said "cute) red bear with a heart with the word LOVE.  

I've been putting it on the mailbox right next to the street.  Why risk having it missed by putting it in the window.  LOVE.  Some bears should be very easy to find.
