DEER HUNT/INDIAN SUMMER IN OCTOBER

OUR TREE IN THE FRONT YARD. I LOVE THE GOLDEN LEAVES

AGAINST THE BRIGHT BLUE SKY

THE WEATHER HAS BEEN SO NICE MY FLOWERS ARE AUTUMN COLORS AND SO I SURROUNDED THEM WITH MY GARDEN SQUASHES.

SHANNON GAVE ME THE FLAG.....IT SAYS: "HAPPY HAUNTING"

THE BOYS ARE HOME FROM THE HUNT...NO VENISON THIS YEARTHE WEATHER WASN'T TOO BAD UNTIL THIS MORNING........THE GUYS DECIDED THAT THEY HAD HAD ENOUGH AND HEADED HOME

WHEN JOHN AND BRANDT CAME HOME THE WEATHER TURNED WET AND COLD, SNOW WAS ON THE GROUND FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS BUT WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS WE WERE BACK TO THAT BEAUTIFUL INDIAN SUMMER WEATHER. WE WERE VERY THANKFUL THAT THE COLD DIDN'T LAST TOO LONG. WE KNOW THAT WHEN IT DECIDES TO KICK IN AND STAY WE WILL BE IN THE COLD FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.
