First cold then warm, deer season and duck season
Only in Ohio could we set a record for a cold temp of 13 degrees on a Friday and then a few days later be 70 degrees! The changes have really been wild! Now it's in the 50's but the cold front is moving in fast with it raining like CRAZY right now. It looks like this winter is going to be a wild ride.
Over the last few days we've sold a few of the hubbies railroad pieces on ebay, yipee! Paid of the new digital camera already, now to pay off that CC debt!
I love finding a niche on ebay that sells well and railroad collectors are a neat group, when they want something there's no stopping them, and the things they collect are amazing!
Deer season opened here yesterday and we did have two of our regulars here but they didn't get anything. Although deer are neat animals they are vermin to the farmers. Deer destroy crops and carry disease and parasites which can be devastating to farmers. It doesn't help that the CITIOTS next year feed the deer! We have a deer trail across both the front of the property and the back, the deer cut across the lower land to eat at the neighbors and then cut across the front, driving our dogs crazy. I've seen as many as 14 deer together at a time within 10 yards of our house.
Our regular duck hunters have had a better year so far, they have a duck blind set in our wetland and usually show up 2-3 days a week during the season. We have a lot of Canadian geese come through on their migratory path and it's actually kind of funny to hear the hunters trying to call them in with all their various calls. They also have all kinds of decoys from huge 4 foot decoys to animated ones that have wings that flap, makes for quite a scene.
Not much else going on, we did make it through the holiday weekend with a minimum of fuss and hubby is now back to work after almost two weeks off. He did get most of the fencing work for his lower cow pasture during this time.
