Howdy Howdy everyone. Today was opening day of Deer Season. Temps didn't get out of the 30s till about sunset. DH and I set inside and admired the fire where it was nice and warm. Seriously we must be getting old...er. The prospect of sitting out in the woods, freezing our giblets off just while the deer are pointing their hoofs at us and laughing from their hiding places.

I took this week coming up off our last week of archery season, next Sat first day for us rifle season.
Can't wait to be out there !
Freezing my gizzards off praying a score first thing !
Wishing I was 'sitting inside watching a fire nice and warm'... :lau
 
My roosters get names for the most part. I have a few without names but they have to 'earn' them before they get them. A lot of my hens have names. They usually do something that I can associate with them. "Screech" for instance earned her name for the raptor like yell she greets me with when she is broody and I take her eggs away from her. I swear you can hear her in the next county. "Betty" because she reminds me of a nurse I used to work with who was an older woman and honorary 'mom' to all the young nurses. Betty stays with her babies for 8-12 weeks. The ultimate mother hen.

So if they don't earn a name, they don't get a name. And yes, roosters with names have wound up chillin in the fridge before going to freezer camp. They also earn that honor also.
 
:duc Wish I could really say how I feel about this, but.... it's better than some places.

Another inside kind of day. Cold, with row (rain-snow), changing over to snain (snow-rain). A good day for good leftovers from dinner out, hot coffee/tea, a nap, and football.

Tomorrow is the start of our firearm deer season. At the tool and die shop where I worked, it was understood that you could take the day off, unpaid, not using vacation time, as long as your work was done, and you let the foreman know. That place was a ghost town that day.
