My favorite food would be a wild rabbit that had deer back straps. Happy New Year John.

Ok mistake or not I feel pretty good about the deer or rabbit hunt which ever was not a mistake lol. Anyway with a 100 degree fever and wind chills down to -30 the deer hunting is on hold. The actual temp is -3 right now.

When the temps are in single digits, what's the use of even counting 'em?

    Here is the news from Iowa. Isaac's wrestling team went to state yesterday and won 3rd in State for team dual. Isaac wrestled 106. I did not get to go because of a scheduled school visit/flint knapping demo with an area High School Art Class.
     Also about two weeks ago we had a sap run that produced a couple bottles of syrup but the weather returned to bitter cold shutting down the sugar shack.
     Just started work on a year long ABO project for the history museum in Burlington IA for a large display.
      Two days ago I bought tags to turkey hunt  with none other than the Master Calling, Bird Huggin (rapture only), BOW BUILDING (arrow making hater), and Black Hills Pontificater of all Subjects Foreign and Domestic .....yes its JW_Halverson. This will be ROUND TWO!!!!

Heard hens yelping yesterday on the west side of town!  Friend south of town says he saw gobblers strutting the other day when the sun was beating down good and hard at 60 degrees! 

Heck, even I am flying down off the roost earlier in the mornings!

The weather in Iowa finally rose above freezing. Annette and went out and cleaned out the maple sap buckets and walked out to the pond. She took a couple pictures along the way. Enjoy!

I have been working in the studio on bowls for a charity auction. This is a picture of one drying before being fired.
