The mighty hunters

Blu's son, Mitchell, shot his first buck on Sunday. Muzzle loading. Our nephew, John, shot an elk in Colorado over the weekend.

Another reason to love fall...

This was taken by a co-worker who had the opportunity to travel to Kalispell, Montana for training. Lucky dog.

Fall is my FAVORITE season

It's beginning to FINALLY cool down here in the Natural State. Of course, now I say that and we'll go through yet another heat wave. Sigh.

I love this time of year. When there's just that hint of crisp in the early morning air and folks are just starting to put up their Halloween decorations (have I said that some retail stores--names not mentioned, but you know who I'm talking about--have already put out their Christmas decorations). Really Big Sigh.


I've realized that along with Christmas, Halloween ranks right up there as a favorite holiday. I'm really excited about being in our neighborhood for Halloween this year. Now, ask me the day after and I may be singing a different tune.


I'm hoping for some good fall colors too. You know...the ones that just make you stop and appreciate that moment in time. Taking a long drive out in the country somewhere, on a beautiful sun-filled, cloud-less sky day.


I hope everyone out there is having a wonderful fall season filled with many happy fall memories!
