Temperature at 6:15AM: 2 Degrees Celsius.
- There is no more going to do the chores in my underwear. When I went to take care of the cows down at the lower pasture I noticed frost on the big round bale and on the grass nearby. There was also frost up at the garden so I think that is it for the award winning tomatoes.
- There is such a peace early in the morning when the sun is just coming up. I usually take a minute as the water fills for the cows and look at the fog dissipating over the river. As the sun starts to warm things up the fog rises and literally peels back depending on the wind direction. This morning I heard a duck calling; the only other sound was our rooster. By the time I get back to the house I'm fully awake because of the cool air. This morning I really wished I'd lit a fire last night because it was quite chilly after taking a shower.
I take the .22 with me every morning in hopes of startling that fox again. I swore I caught his scent in the barn again the other morning. I am constantly scanning for any sign of him in the fields as I make my rounds during chores. I thought that I would probably like hunting because of the productive feeling one gets as you search for an animal during the early morning. I don't think it would bother me if I didn't even get a deer, just to be out in the bush in November and doing something besides firewood might be nice for a change.
