Bearing Greetings



My husband carved this bear's head. He put it up by the front door thus encouraging people to think carefully before they ignore the "No Trespassing" sign.


Here's a closer view of Jaded,  who Mike said would be  Jasper's grumpy brother, if he had one.

A noted about the sign on the front step. Ken MacKenzie made it out of horseshoe nails and gave to Mike. However, I had Mike add a nail when he put it up as an apostrophe, thus changing the plural to a singular possessive.

Awesome carving! I really like the eyes.

Jaded looks very fierce! Would make me think twice about approaching.

Fabulous job, Mike!

Thanks, Red. Mike is happy to know it.
Bag Lady, Jaded won't harm you, but woe betide salesfolk and anyone with an energy contract.

He's very well done and looks like he means business. Certainly the people he lives with mean business. also.

With a greeter at the door like that one, you wouldn't need a home security system.

Thanks, Messymimi. We do.

He may be too cute to be effective, Ron.

Oh he's done a wonderful job. Everyone should have a Jaded. Maybe everyone should have a Mike, too.
