Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Good morning Pond,
Oddly quiet here on what is normally a celebrated holiday here in "up nort" Wisconsin. (aka opening day of gun deer hunting). No young men scattered about in various places on furniture and floor snoring away last night, no "zombies" staggering about at 5 a.m. roused from the dead by the smell of hot biscuits and frying bacon being placed in piles on the table by the camp cook (me). First time in as long as I can remember that there will be no watching for figures in blaze orange coming across the field and the small smile of relief when the last one is spotted appearing thru the darkening light. No one daring to risk bringing the dreaded virus up to the old folks or wanting to risk the other danger of possibly taking it home to their families. I listened hard this morning as light began to creep over the woods and did not hear a single shot off in the distance. Guess we weren't the only ones that lost another treasured tradition this year.
