Snowflakes and Sunsets

A few snowflakes came down this mornin when I was out doing chores and feeding the bulls. A cold front from the north blew in last night. It should be nicer next week. But I am kinda ready for some snow...I'm told i'm not supposed to wish for snow because it'll be here and then it never goes away and everyone ends up hating it. But i'm ready for it! As my brother would say, "It's time to break out the snuggly buggly carhartt bo!"

I hung my traps yesterday! They look so nice and ready to be set to bring in some fur! Gotta keep warm up here.

I even hung my indoor traps.

Just picked these bad boys up this afternoon. You can't just get em anywhere. These are special made mini-flat conibear's for bringing in some of the smallest, finest fur in the northeast. I hear talk they're buyin these pelts for a nickel a pop! Good thing my room and the kitchen and the woodshed and the garage and the crawl space are full of em. I won't even need to do chores anymore with that kinda cash flow. I may even make a coat out of em. We'll see. I'll bait these suckers up with peanut butter and set em out tonight. I've been followin the scat trails for days now. Should be no trouble to bring in some fur.

This evening I walked down to one of the horse paddocks at sunset to see the view from the south mountain.

It's pretty magnificent.

Tomorrow I'm off duty and get to sleep in. PLUS we turn the clocks back tonight. Oh sweet fate, how you shine down upon me with your extra hour of sleep.
