Hunting season

This column was written early in my Wisconsin life. Some of my views about hunting have changed over the years.

Once a hunter jumped out of his truck, grabbed his gun, and sited on Bob who was walking to machinery in the field with fuel oil. It was obvious Bob wasn’t a deer but the hunter continued to point his gun toward him. So you can see why I’m not happy with all hunters.

There’s a good group of hunters who come out to Sunnybook Farm. I haven’t heard yet if they were successful this year. There were plenty of signs of deer here and a lot of crop damage, too, a good reason to trim the herd.

At the end of the season, the end of 2020, we’re making plans for family members to take a chance, too, like last year when Bob watched David and Eli walk up the lane and back to the house in the snow.

Real treasures today

Even if I don’t keep everything, these things can be useful to someone.

Many items will be passed along to others or end up at a St. Vincent de Paul store where treasures are also found.

A book for everyone

I just ordered this book, The Boy, The Mole, The Fox, and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy. I wish I could buy a copy for everyone.

Here’s a reading I found on youtube.

It is heartwarming and can be read again and again.

Definitely not just for children, but for all ages.

Toss or keep treasure hunt

I took too much time on this basket of stuff and haven’t come up with many answers. I have a problem making decisions.

In addition to the date ’94 on the ceramic windchimes, I also found initials BM. That means they were made by daughter Rebecca (Becky Manzke). I should give them to her and make them her what-to-do problem.

For the time being, I’ll keep them and hang them up to see if they really chime or just clack together.
