Thanksgiving

We had a lovely Thanksgiving filled with family and feasts. It was very relaxing and refreshing. Mouse had a great idea. She collected fallen leaves and other items to make a seasons wreath. We took cedar limbs and wire to make the wreath, then added leaves, berries and a deserted wasp nest. We enjoyed a long walk through the woods where we found deer rubbings and a rabbit.

We are so thankful for the beautiful world we have been provided by the Lord. We especially love the woods in Fall.

Yesterday Papaw shot an 8 point deer. We were invited to come see it, and ended up staying for a lesson in how to dress a dear. It was a little gruesome. Puppy was all good until they took the antlers off. Then he was sad they killed the deer. Mouse and Monkey enjoyed all of it. Wierdos!

It was a good lesson in providing for our family with wild game and a good anatomy lesson. Did you know that a deer does not have a ball and socket joint in their front legs? Only muscle joins the shoulder and leg. Pretty cool. We also saw what a bullet does to muscle. Pretty gross.
