Good morning!!
Elk season started this morning. Trevor left at 5. He's going to the backside of the mountain behind our house, which he's hiked before, but I'm still trying to calm my nerves. The mountains are snow capped and I'm worried about everything. Avalanches don't usually happen this early because snow pack is too thin, but it's still running through my mind along with mountain lions and angry elk.
I'm keeping myself super busy to distract my mind. I got up at 4 and I've gotten my morning cleaning done, I've got a ham in the oven and I'll be canning the last of the grapes, processing the ham, baking some bread, and a couple pumpkins pies (with sugar pumpkins, not canned.) And once the little ones are up in a couple hours, I'll have them to take care of. Hopefully I'll be too busy to worry much.
The worst will be tomorrow when he leaves for the several day overnight hunt.
Dinner tonight will be beef nuggets, potato wedges with carrots and peas
