Wow, another week and a half has went bye. I am loving the changes in this weather, well except the cold. I love to smell the foods in the city linger in the air, like grilled steaks or burgers, and I love the smell the scents in the rural areas such as home cooking and baking and wood stoves burning. I love the picture perfect view every day on my way to LaCrosse from my place in Sheldon. I see the leaves are changing so fast to red, yellow, orange or brown. I see people getting ready to harvest the beans in the fields and the gardens are pretty well done and cleaned up and the lawn mowing has slowed down now. The chimneys release smoke and the ground is now covered with frost in the mornings. The time has come that we need to scrape our windshields, unless you are a lucky one to have a garage and to put on our little mittens to keep our hands warm.
This weekend was the first big 2 day gun season for deer hunting so we see a lot of vehicles on the sides of the roads parked and vehicles parked in fields and in field roads. I have also seen a lot of bow hunters out this year. The ones that hunt on our land always hunt for the meat. We do not allow trophy hunters on our land. We have seen two deer killed on our land and one was a real nice big doe. We also tell the hunters that if the doe's have young babies with them that are not to shoot them. The hunters we have are very kind and respectful.
College is going ok, my family is well and I got to see my unborn grandson last week in an ultrasound, and work is great. Almost like that song God is great, Beer is good, and people are crazy, lol.
