And while my summer tan still lingers, this morning there was a thin layer of frost on the grass and across our windshields, marking the official arrival of fall. I learned last year how chilly it can get after sitting in a tree stand for hours, watching squirrels […]
Intro to Archery: Deer Signs
I walk my dog every morning down the rough dirt road that remains unplowed all winter.
