The stars finally aligned. All my ducks were in a row. The 2014 maiden hunt was about to commence. Seems like going out on a simple archery whitetail hunt should not be so difficult to prepare for. Difficult or not I had somehow managed to have milk in the fridge for the baby, Grandma in…

Anticipation
Life without the feeling of anticipation would really be no life at all. I love having something to look forward too…something to think about that is yet to come. It can be something small like having the last load of laundry done and empty hampers or something huge like a due date or anniversary. Right…
The Mountain Man
Over Labor Day weekend my husband and I found ourselves doing what most people do on that nice long weekend…working.

When it comes to caping, the scalpel is without question the only tool…

It steals from our overall quality of life and in the end never helps our situation anyway. My final thought on the matter was the realization that just as real live sweating can leave…
Smokescreen
Here in the western part of this gorgeous country, the fall season is inevitably shrouded in an orange tinted haze of smoke. The sun is faded and easy to look at in it’s ruddy glory. The smell that looms is, for me, a good one…bringing with it memories of each fall before it. Fall is…
