10/19/08 EVENING COMES TO THE DEER WOODS

Sunday, 6:25 AM. 40 degrees, wind SE, strong. The sky is overcast, the sun still abed. The barometer predicts rain.
It is a dark, blustery morning, and the deer will be moving to cover, perhaps already there. It will be a tough hunt, but on the other hand, sometimes changing conditions make them move about. In any case I will skip church but have to be to the Parish House for a noon vestry meeting. Joan has coffee hour but will fend for herself.
2:30 PM. No luck this morning, I was right about the deer holing up. I should just give it up today, but instead will go out to the Sugar Bush and see if anything is moving about at the end of the day. I did see one unidentifiable deer just before dark yesterday. The photo is of the remains of the sunset on the deer trail yesterday
