Fire in the fireplace, snow on the way (for a little while anyway) and one week to go of the first segment of grouse season. Seamus is going to be disappointed with his being relegated to the cabin for two weeks beginning next Saturday, but long walks in the morning and evening will serve to take off the edge. 
Several people have put in a request for of venison, and I hope I get lucky enough to fill their orders …if I don’t it won’t be for a lack of trying. “She Who Must Be Obeyed” will be at the cabin this year and if nothing else, Seamus and I will eat well.
But, there is one more day of hunting for bonasa umbellus for us and with a dusting of snow, it ought to be good. The question will be, whether or not we’ll be able to get back into the woods in December. Last year, it was a bummer.
It’s all good!
