So you be the judge, I'll put some links in the next installment.

Harlan and I had the fortune of watching the Mama coax her out of the garage and watch over her as she worked to get out into the woods. Excuse the shaky camera towards the end, I used the zoom lens so we could stay far away and let Mama do her magic.
