the weather guy said it may snow later tonight. mostly rain though. the snow is too late for the tribe to shut down though since the week is over. maybe we can work out a comp time thing. if it snows on a weekend or holiday we carry the snow day over into the week. i used to go rabbit hunting at the first snow. we were told we couldnt eat them until then. not many rabbits left anymore. road hunters get them. they cover alot of ground driving around. we had to walk all day to get a few. i would walk 10 to 15 miles a day while hunting.

i can appreciate the statement ‘under foot’. our little pups are everywhere we walk. almost step on one every time i go outside. i make sure they are out of the way when i back the car up. i probably will give the pups away if some one is willing to give them a good home. a few are interested already. i will keep the blue though. it has great markings. it is a blue but has red color too.

i have seen that immature golden eagle a few more times. it seems to hang around in this area. it has to be nesting somewhere nearby. i thought they only came here during the winter. i think they are breeding here. i have seen a number of young ones over the years.

i bought 30 chicks this past spring. now they are pretty well grown. i can see that there are alot of roosters in the bunch. or is it a herd. at any rate we are going to clean chickens one of these days. i remember doing that as i was growing up. mom used to be real good at that. she could clean one in no time. i watched her enough that i can too. we already had an offer of help. i promised to give some fresh chicken in return for the help. i will have the best tortilla soup around. nothing beats fresh chicken that you raised yourself.

sometimes i am a bah humbug type. i think it is a holdover from boarding school days. most of the kids went home for the holidays but i didnt. so i really didnt get into the whole thing. lately though i have been putting up a tree even though the kids are grown and gone. i like to look at the lights on the small artificial tree. at least i dont kill a living thing for just one time. i will put the fake tree up this weekend. then i can be like cheech and chong and get off on the lights.
