Firearm Deer Season Begins


Deer hunters are said to like a bit of snow for tracking purposes.  This was the scene on our street ten minutes ago.

I haven't heard any gunfire, though we probably have the most deer per square foot here than in the whole state.  ( There are restrictions about hunting in town.  Even when they decided to cut down on the deer herd.)

Nobody at our house is a hunter.  Good Guy is more of a Gatherer, and will shop the whole town for bargains.  I don't like to shop at all.  I venture out for fabric and yarn on occasion but other shopping is a definite chore.  Online shopping is nice for books, though bookstores would be my one exception to the shopping hatred. 

I am not a lover of snow and cold any more.  Any day from November to April that the roads are clear and we do not have to drive in snow is a day to give thanks, in my book.  And this week, while I'm still navigating with a quad cane, is a day to avoid going out in the snow.  Unless I get totally stir crazy with cabin fever.  It's a mite early for that, but you never know....
