The one good thing about turning the clocks back is that it was light when we got up this morning--the bad thing is that it will be dark by five in the afternoon. John decided not to go hunting this morning, so we had a leisurely breakfast and then got ready to head off to church for the Sunday morning service. Attendance was way down today--think it was a combination of the time change and opening deer hunting. Those that were there shared their hunting experiences after the service. Sounded like most of the hunters had success on the first day.

Matt took Hanna out this morning and they sat in their deer stand until it was time to leave for church. They saw a couple of deer but couldn't get a good shot. This afternoon John and I wrapped the shrubs in front of the house so they won't get crushed by the snow this winter and then we watched the Vikings and Eagles win. John went out to his stand late this afternoon and stayed out until dark--again, he didn't see a single deer. We ended our evening watching the Cowboys take a beating. That was good to see when you are an Eagles fan.
