Today we had sunny skies with temps in the low 50's with strong winds reaching 30 mph. There was a lot of traffic on our gravel road from our neighbor hauling hay and livestock. There was so much dust and dirt blowing around we ended up inside for most of the day.

Matt needed a couple of picture frames so John headed down to the shop this morning to get them made and then stained and lacquered them this afternoon. I spent the majority of my day cleaning out our walk-in closet, sorting through what clothes would stay here for the winter, what we'll need to pack for Texas, and what can be given to Goodwill. It's always nice to get that job out of the way and have the closet organized once more.

Isaac needed a hunting jacket for tomorrow's opener, so after supper John took an extra one that he had up to Matt's. The plans are in place for tomorrow morning. Matt, Sam, Isaac, and Adam will be hunting on public ground north of Matt's place and John and Hanna will be in the "Sniper Shack" behind the house. I'm not sure if Sara and Rachel will be going out in the morning. John has everything ready to go--it'll be a very early morning for him as they want to be out in the stands before daylight. Hopefully we'll have some victory photos on here tomorrow evening.
