Spent the day cleaning bathrooms and doing laundry. Washed all Lynn's hunting gear, including some large canvas bags he has to put the meat in to bring it off the mountain. He hosed them off thoroughly outside before I had to take them in and wash them, but they were still a little gross. He made the mistake of leaving the antlers in the garage overnight-----eww!! The garage didn't smell too good this morning. They had a really good time hunting and being together. It really has been several years since Lynn, Mark and Neil were able to go on a hunt together.

It has been rainy and overcast for most of the day, but it is a welcome change from the hot, dusty air that we have had for the past couple of weeks. I am enjoying the coolness. The leaves on the green ash trees are starting to turn yellow and fall off, now if only they will all fall off before it snows! We have had heavy wet snows for the past two years early in October. I still have the apples to pick from the Golden Delicious tree. They are surprisingly good and worm free even though they were not sprayed at all this year. The Early Blaze tree is all done dropping its apples, I picked a few and made several apple desserts and a few quarts of applesauce, but I wasn't feeling well enough to pick them before most of them dropped on the ground.
