In Between season

Fall is too damn short, you know? October is ...POOF....gone, and now it's November already. So what to do? Hunt? Bike? Run when it's cold?Oh, shoot, then I'd miss hunting or getting the yard ready for winter. Stuff to finish up at Levis before snow flys. Fall needs to be at least another month long. First time I have not even bow hunted once by November. Twangfest is this week, so I guess I've just waited for that. Should be good and I'll have my woods time fix.

The sandhills have been cruisin the neighborhood for a few weeks now-fun to see them. Now to prepare for the trip to North Dakota-should see lots of birds there.

He's been hanging around the house and across the road all summer and Fall-I think everyone in the area knows that too. Still.....fun to see and he's built well.

Sometimes, it just pays to wake before the dawn and wait for the day to wake up.

Almost Oktober

Been a while since I've been on here. School, from day one, has been yucky. The kids and my classes? Great. It's just been a constant threat of re-doing the special schedule into a nightmare that has been in the background everyday. WIll have to wait and see.

Back at Levis tonight to build another teeter and skinny-looking forward to that. Bugs have been bad, but it smells like fall and that is a good thing. Been mushroom hunting too lately, and that has been fun...Chickens and Hen of the woods-delish!

Better get some photos back up here-off to Oktoberfest this weekend!

Re-routed Lower Glen last night. Yellowjackets didn't like it and got stung twice. No reaction, so that's good. 3 years of Bee injections must be working. I wanna crank out more of Lucys loop this week. Gnome Fest is next weekend.

Been fun to walk the wet woods the past cpl days-all this rain has mushrooms popping up everywhere...in every variety. Pretty cool. I did find some chanties (the yellow ones) which are supposed to be good. This one seems to be a Boltes, maybe a King, which from all reports are great. Waiting to get a positive ID. Another one is also a Boltes, but bitter. I found a lot of these and it would be great if they are edible.

Did some mowing at Levis yesterday-3 hrs and would like to finish today. Also need to ride-have been off the bike all week and my time is running out.
