OK, now some people say that this fellow looks like me. I'm not going to comment on that. But one thing we DO have in common is that Spanish brown bears like this mother from the Cordilleran mountains are no longer hibernating at all. The mountain winters are getting warm enough that she and her cubs can find food (berries and nuts) and snuggle up to stay warm through the whole winter.
Me? Well I have enough work that, though I am hunkering down with my laptop and iMac in the one warm room in my studio - I'm not sleeping for the next 4 months. I have 4 books to write and illustrate before the end of April 2011. They're coming out in the fall so there is now wiggle room, no snuggle time for me either!
So no hibernating here either mamma bear!
