was
coming back from getting 400 pounds of animal feed from the farm store and then
picked up our 12 year old cousin to babysit for the day... as we neared the top
of our hill and just before our driveway. I see a large dark animal which sorta,
but not really looked like a horse standing in the middle of the road and I was
beginning to think it was a moose.....and it was a moose. I was pretty excited about just seeing a moose in the road as they rarely stand and wait for you to look at them very well and as I just started to notice something about it.. "Kid" yells out that it had HORNS! After five years of my quest of looking for a bull moose, and lamenting about it here periodically, I FINALLY saw a BULL moose!!!
And he stood there.. well, he got off the road and stood in the paper birch trees which were along the road, but that white bark of the paper birches showed him off magnificently. And we stopped the truck in the middle of the roadway and watched him for the longest time while he was watching us.
I was just so excited and me.. who carries my camera with me all the time, did not have my camera *sad*.. but oh well.. he is in the area and our pond is the closest for water, so I am sure he will come to drink and maybe munch on the horses round bale.
The rest of my day consisted of putting my house into order. I sorta of accomplished a bit of Fall cleaning. I have noted that the leaves of certain vegetation has started to change. I have 3 carboys of wine I need to rack off and/or bottle this week. I also feel like starting to make some more socks. I even priced some 50# sacks of coal as I am just itching to fire up my forge.
Got alot of magazines I need to mail tomorrow. Got them addressed tonight. It is
