Oh Blessed Day !

Wouldn't you know it ! One of the wily rooster pheasants that keeps running around here made his appearance in the backyard. Going from point A to point B. I should have grabbed the gun sitting at the backdoor and went in pursuit Still might ! The pheasant like to sit in the area behind the house with a southern exposure, to sun bathe. They have cover to run into if they are approached by the un-known. Hope everyone has been getting in time at their favorite activities if you've had time off from the work- a - day world. I wish " good hunting" to all those that still have a season to pursue...

Merry Christmas !

Merry Christmas one and all ! It has been a week since my last post. How have you been ? Well and Happy ! Good deal.... As all of you I have been keeping busy with preparations for the holiday get together(s). Last Monday, December 18th, I got to help render my first deer. My neighbor who has loaned me the gun I have been using asked me to assist him in dressing his last deer of the season. What wasn't expected is he gave me the proceeds of the effort. Talk about being happy. Boy ! What a very nice Christmas present. I told him that I would help him render all of his "take" next year. He is a sure shot. Who knows maybe I will be too come the next season ! ; ) My husband and I will be off to North Dakota for a family visit come the New Year's weekend if the weather isn't to bad...
