Sept 17-Oct 30 Getting ready for Deer Season

I have basically lived at the deer lease for most of this time. Susan has spent a couple of days up here but she has stayed home much of the time sewing. She went to a quilt retreat for four days and then to the International Quilt Show for two days. I did a lot of mowing usually working till about noon and then shutting down and chilling the rest of the day. John Callahan moved in Sept 29 for the season. He is getting around great at 87.Folks have been in and out but not many big crowds. Squirrel hunting was excellent this year, best we have had in 14 years. Lots of hogs this year, so far we have killed 17. It was really dry and we didn't get any rain till Oct 25. We are not going to have very good rye grass patches this year. I  got down in my back for the last 10 days but am getting around pretty good now. Susan fell at Kristis while walking and face planted a tree root, She was lucky nothing was broken.  It looked like she had been in a barfight. it took several days to recover from that. Old age is hell sometimres. Going home today. Hope to go get Peyton Sunday and keep him till Thursday. If not I will probably be back up here Monday.
