Very busy here making new teddy bears for my eBay store. I was so busy getting the new blog up and running that I quite unintentionally ran out of bears in my store. Will have some new ones ready to go very soon!

In the meantime, while working on the bears I am also cooking up an idea for a new Blog feature. Here’s a hint, below. That’s all I can say right now until I get it “thunk thru” all the way, as some of the critters here would say.

Wishing everyone a great day. Back with some new bears to show and more info on the new Blog feature soon. And a big Thank You and Bear Hugs to new Blog followers! Welcome! — Jim (and Red!)

In addition to today being National Train Day, it is also International Migratory Bird Day. And with Little Red Bear having so many migratory friends and nature playing such a large part in his stories, it would be remiss not to give all the little flyers a tip of the cap as well.

Migratory birds play a great role in keeping seasonal pests under control, help in plant propagation by spreading seeds and pollinating plants, contribute to recreational activities and inspire artists, writers and folk like me. It is always a special time for me whenever we spot a flock of migrating geese or ducks cruising by overhead in V formation, signaling the changing of seasons. And welcome the cheering songs of the Song Sparrows and others upon arrival in the early spring.

So hats off for the migratory birds. Safe travels and welcome back!
