  I am sitting outside on the glorious, glowing first Sunday in autumn.   A fire in the fire pit keeps the coffee warm, and the sun warms my soul.  We have been at Da Camp since Friday night, arriving in the driving wind and rain and we will leave this evening in all the fall wonder.

   

  

   

   

   

  Our weekend has been tranquil, filled with photography, bird hunting, wood cutting, long walks and fantastic conversations with each other and our frequent visitors.

   

                                 

   

                        

   

   

   

   

  Yesterday I tried a new Dutch Oven recipe, with chicken, potatoes, onions, South West Seasonings, sour cream, peas and bacon.   The smell floated through the woods sending our mouths watering as we patiently waited for it to finish cooking.  It was well worth the wait. 

  

   

   

   

  A visit from the Lishinski’s help to pass the time.  We drank coffee by the fire pit while swapping hunting stories. So many people were out this weekend hiking, hunting and marveling at the changing colors.

   

                        

   

  I stepped outside this morning to the sounds of the frost melting off the trees while the fog drifted above the treetops.  We quickly dressed, hopped in the car and heading down the trail. 

                      

   

   

   

  Over night the leaves changed once again, adding more glow to the woods.  We got one bird, much to the dogs delight!  (Don got one last night when he went to close the bottom gate without the dogs!)  Stopping at Pete, Steve and Nikki’s camp added to the morning fun as all four dogs raced around chasing buckets, sticks and each other. 

                      

   

  We headed back, taking the long route stopping to capture the glow.

                                   

   

  Larry came by in the early afternoon to help cut wood, shoot his new gun and have dinner.  The guys are out now sighting in their deer guns and the dogs and I are relaxing. 

                         

                               

  Have a peaceful week, getting out and enjoying Autumn's glow.
