Venison


Logan shot a buck earlier this week, and he and Libby and crew spent hours Friday processing the meat. Charlie was thrilled when I gave him a leg bone.

Chicks

 Because of bio-security concerns, Libby wasn't allowed to be around poultry during her internship this summer. Thus, she couldn't get any chicks. But, she was able to order one of the last shipments from the hatchery this fall. A boxful of peepers arrived yesterday.

New window

For my birthday, Dad installed a new window in my kitchen. I feel like I have just left the eye doctor's office with new glasses--I can see everything!

Cuyahoga National Park


 Julie, Libby, Naomi and I spent the weekend exploring Cuyahoga National Park. We split the distance between Michigan and Pennsylvania and met in Ohio. The weather was absolutely lovely for early November, sunny and mid-sixties, and perfect for hiking trails and exploring waterfalls.

Crosswalk

I cross the street every day as I walk from the staff parking lot to the hall where my office is.

Billy

On Saturday, Brian and Libby procured a new billy goat with the expectation that he will play a limited, but undeniably necessary role, in producing kids in the spring.
