Raining and cold today (mid afternoon temperature 46) luckily not a lot of wind. I had replaced our mailbox last spring but the latch was clearly not up to the assigned task. So I was at the end of my driveway replacing it with the one that I salvaged from the mailbox it replaced. One of the neighbors drove by and stopped to ask if I was freezing.
As you might expect my season slowly draws to a close in late October and early November. I have fewer reservations and the days look to be getting chillier over the next week or so. However, we are in the middle of the prettiest time of year. Cool crisp days and cooler nights along with the leaves changing color. As you can see there is little to complain about with views like this, well except for needing to lug a little firewood!
I recently heard this piece on public radio and it jogged my mind on a topic I have been thinking about lately. That is that the hunters and anglers of this country have lead conservation efforts in the United States
for many years.
