The past week started cool and damp here in Central Missouri, then got a bit nicer as the weekend approached.

Much of nothing going on in the garden right now. It's time to put garlic in the ground, but the soil is too wet to till. Need a couple or three more days of sunshine to dry it up a bit.

I put the finishing touches on Mrs. Augie's new deer stand on Saturday. It is rock-solid and ready for the kahooming to begin. Cut up and hauled close to a cord of firewood from deadfall in the area where I built her stand. Sunday we cleaned out all of the gutters on the house and barn, then spent most of the day trimming trees in the yard and hauling brush from that to the sippy hole. Got another half cord or so of firewood from that project.

Reason #617 why women live longer than men. That's a 10' ladder leaned up against the carry-all basket.

Mrs. Augie usually throws a big halloween party/hayride event, but she decided to punt that this year due to the covid thing. She managed to have a little fun in spite of no party.

Great pumpkins! And I agree with the ‘reasons women live longer.’

Beau is famous for his total disregard of all OSHA Regulations, now that he’s retired. :(

You ever hunt with a crossbow? I bought property in Texas and have multiple types of deer and even elk on the property....but it is only 12.5 acres so it is either standard archery or crossbow which is legal in Texas....

And foes anyone know if there is a freezer hunting thread?
