Hunting and Snow!!

This weekend was all about hunting...and playing in the snow! This coming January will make it 2 years that Bear and I have been living in Sumrall and so far we have seen 2-3 inches of snow each year! I love it!

Target Practice

My oufit equaled: 3 pairs of pants, cover-alls, 3 jackets, gloves, 3 pair of socks (on each foot), water boots...

and a face mask! I looked like the Michelin Man!

A HUGE turkey

FREEZING COLD....letting my toes thaw out in the truck

Harley played in the snow...Prine stayed inside :)

Second day of hunting...

Scoping it out...

Feeding the horses...

Freezing again in the stand...waiting on a "big one"

DESIDERATA

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others…even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, there will always be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery, but let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself….especially do not feign affection, neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune, but do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have right to be here. and whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt, the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
