Apples for all

Every fall we have deer come to help with harvesting.  This year this mother and fawn have visited almost every day.  It's fun to see the deer eating apples.  There were plenty of apples to go around this year.  So far we have canned apple filling and apple butter. Made apple sauce, cider, pie, cakes and anything else we can think of.

Gone Elk Hunting

I went up hunting with the men for a few days.  We had rain most of the time I was there.  Of  course a trip is not complete unless you have some excitement.  Mikey's motor home got stuck in a mud hole and the transmission was acting up.  The only animals we saw where deer, grouse, a white mink like creature and the field mice running around in our motor home.  Apparently the deer knew this was not their season, they had no fear and continued grazing as we passed by.  I did manage to take a few pictures even though the weather was not cooperating.  As you can see the views are spectacular.
