Tonight was going to be the night. And then the heavens opened up. Lots of wind, lightning, and maybe even a bit of hail. Trees are down, power’s out in large areas, and it’s just generally not a good idea to be out right now.
So we wait unti tomorrow.
Smash is at weight and ready.
Charlie is coming down and should be ready by the first of September. doing some manning and familiarization work with him. He seems to be a lot calmer now than he was when I first got him. We’ve both learned a lot about each other, more to his advantage than mine at most times.
The kids are basically in school now with band camp started. The summer garden is winding down and we’re getting ready for the fall planting.
Oddly enough, we have a pumpkin ready to be picked. Just goes to show that seasons aren’t really tied to a calendar unless you live life according to Hallmark Cards. Things happen when they’re going to and the process is continuous. For most of my life I believed the calendar determined the season. I’ve finally realized that the calendar is just a reference and each year I’m finding it less important.
Except for birthdays. I have to remember those.
Especially one particular one.
At least I can remember it doesn’t happen until after trapping season starts.
