When I was in high school there was a house on my bus route that always had dead deer hanging from the front yard trees each fall. It was so gross. When hunting season began each year I would intentionally sit on the opposite side of the bus so I didn’t have to see them. Today, while I was out walking, enjoying the lovely fall day, I came around the corner and boom — giant dead animal hanging from a tree! Blech!! There was a guy there, doing something to it, but I averted my eyes and crossed the street as fast as possible. I’ll be going the other away for a few weeks so I don’t have to see that sight again, and so the kids don’t have to see it either! I’m not weighing in on hunting, just hang that disgusting thing in the back yard, PLEASE! Gross.

Jump, jump, jump!

This should help get us through the long winter months ahead!  It may be the end of our snowflake collection though, which has been decorating our ceiling for many, many years.  After only a few jumps they started reaching up and batting at the snowflakes with each jump and one has already come down.    :-)
