The Short Season

All summer long "Put deer stand in shed" has been on my to-do list. Using my normal super efficient methods, I ignored that item long enough that I saved myself the time-consuming hassle of writing "Put deer stand in woods" on my list this fall. I may have ignored a few other items on the list as well, but I'm not sure my efficiency model is going to work with "clean the gutters." I'll get back to you.

This is my fourth hunting season, and I'm beginning to find a routine.

Winding Down

Welcome to the latest entry in my "Year in the Woods" series, where I document all the native plants I can find in our woods in one year.

It's been three weeks since my last post, a sure sign that wildflower season is truly winding down.

This first photo is White Turtlehead, Chelone glabra, yet another new find. This makes about 40 flowers I've found for the first time this year (not because they weren't there, but because I hadn't noticed them before).
