Fall is assuredly here. In the forest where I walk the dog, generally you see pines, spruce and other evergreens that stay the same tones of green all year round. However, every now and then Mother Nature will surprise us with a sudden burst of colour...red, yellow or orange. It's such a treat to round a corner and see a splash of brilliance against the green trees and gray skies that I thought I should share it with you all...before long the colour will be gone and trees will be covered with snow. The small bush at the bottom, with blue berries is a juniper bush and if I were Martha Stewart I'd pick some and make a juniper sauce that (apparently) goes fantastic with elk steak, or if I were Theroux I'd make some gin to sustain me over the winter but as I am neither I simply chewed one berry and promptly spit it out and took a photo instead. Cheers!

Meat in the Freezer

Steven got the ok from the Dr. a while ago to go out for a hunt as long as he takes it easy. This was the result of a trip with a friend. He was pretty pleased to be sure.

Explaining.

This is Chino...short for Al Pacino. The dog is a loveable 75 pound hurricane. In the course of a day he ran down the hallway and knocked over a table, chewed the nose off my wooden rabbit, stepped in Gypsy's water dish and spilled it all over, stepped in his own water dish and spilled it all over, knocked over his food dish, fell down the stairs, tried to walk through the screen door on the sundeck and slobbered on pretty much everyone and everything. He looks at you with such concentration, he tries SO hard to be good, all he wants is to be touched and cuddled. Steven is trying to explain to him that he needs to just calm down a little bit. Grandpa and Grand-dog bonding!!
