Our Friends gave us this salt and pepper shaker last year for Christmas…TOO Cute!
Even as I write this I hear the gun shots ringing in the woods. The hunters are in paradise. It seems like the deer are plentiful this season.
This is an 8 point that a friend of ours killed when it was bow season. Amazing.
Neon orange and Camo are the main colors I see these days. The purr of 4 wheelers and 4 wheel drive trucks are music to hunters ears I suppose. Why even men who don’t smile a whole lot, tend to smile when they tell about their day in the woods, especially if it ended with something like this. Or even if they are telling about the one they saw, but were not able to get a clean shot.
Our neighbor shared some deer meat with us this week. I think it is especially neat when the meat can be shared with others. Our neighbors and many others we know, often give meat to people that they feel could really use it. This is a great way to eat healthy and help on the grocery bill.
I passed by a field yesterday and there were about 10 deer grazing. They were beautiful. I tried to get their picture, but it was too dark.
It still tugs at me, when I see one has been killed. However, I do think that it is the cycle of life.
Why even little Ellie is hunting these days.
She came home with this the other morning. The picture is blurry because she was so excited I could hardly get her to be still long enough to get a picture.
I think she thought I was going to take it from her, but I let her go into a porch area and enjoy her “find”
She put it down long enough to get a little dog food breakfast in her and then settled down for a nice snack.
As you can see, I had a girly bed for her to lay on….but she is a tom-boy at heart.
You can take the girl out of the country….but you can’t take the country out of the girl!
