Starting with a photo I forgot about: The homecoming bonfire at the school Cubby plays 6-man football for. Which is not the same as the school he actually goes to, because there aren't enough kids to have teams at each school. So the schools twenty miles apart have a sports co-op and combine for teams.
It was a really good bonefire.
Both of the older boys have their hunting licenses, and between their tags and A.'s, there are five hunts this fall, all in four weekends. Thankfully, most of them are close enough that camping isn't required, so there have been a lot of very early mornings getting hunters fed and out the door in the dark.
No luck yet, but lots of quiet contemplation at water holes.
A. had four orange pumpkin-looking squash this year, so each child got one to make a jack-o-lantern.
Scooping out the innards.
Lit with birthday cake candles, because I didn't have tea lights or whatever.
And then used as flashlights.
There you have it! My life, snapshotted.
Wow! That is quite a bonfire!

The almost total darkness makes for good pumpkin face viewing . Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI miss all of the Halloween festivities since I live off base. It is one of the negative things of it.
ReplyDeleteWe have a friend who bow hunts on our acre and a half. I saw his truck in the driveway when I woke up yesterday and about an hour late, he came up the hill dragging a 2 point buck behind him. It looks like we will be getting venison soon - yay!
