A Beautiful Fall Day

Saturday was beautiful.  High temp in the upper 60s.  A great day for a hike. 

This is the view from the bluff above Alley Spring.  The red mill is almost obscured.  We took the 1.5 mile hike up and around the bluff.  My dad, the hooey stick master, age 84, went with us (see Sept. 29 post). 

The beauty of the day was enhanced by the inner glow all Cardinal fans are still experiencing.

Fall Wild Turkey Season

 In My Corner of the Ozarks, the Fall Wild Turkey Season encompasses the entire month of October.  Dad and I were able to go this morning for the first time.  Hunting turkeys in the fall is not easy.  They don't gobble.  They are difficult to locate.  It can sometimes be just plain boring. 

This me in the photo.  I may have been awake or maybe not.  I'll never, never tell. 

No turkeys found.  But it was a beautiful morning.
