Opening Weekend of Deer Season with a gun.

The hunters were ready and fired up to go - November 15 was opening day for hunting deer (with a gun.) Northern Indiana brought deer season in just like last year cold, wet, windy & rainy. But our two hunters that stayed here at Mirror lake B&B were up and out to hunt the 18 acre woods. Along with Dan and Nate (friends of ours) that hunt the other wods. Opening morning Dan claims he saw many but waited and then took a 9 point buck, Nate wasn't so lucky all weekend. Mark and Cody saw deer, but not the big buck they were looking for. It did stop raining and the winds calmed down some for the hunters on Saturday night which made it alittle better when Mark got his doe. Sunday brought cold temperatures and alittle snow but it didn't keep the hunters away. I have added the pictures below it may be more then some want to view, view carefully!!

Mirror Lake Craft and Holiday Sale November 8, 2008

The antique sleigh and sled has been decorated with Sweet Annie, Winter Berry, Yarrow, Artemesia Colored Static, Bittersweet and or Hydrangeas blooms. All grown, harvested, dried and arranged by Kathy here at Mirror Lake.

We were so busy we all forgot to take pictures, so these are a few pictures of my things I took before the sale even was set up.

November 8th Mirror lake Crafter's had their 3rd Holiday Craft Sale. I could not believe how busy we were, many of the 8 crafter's are farm wives, but not all. Steve enjoys making hardwood shelves and step stools. Christy & I enjoy the more primitive crafting, Karla is ALL into the Aromatherapy and Essential oils, Rhonda likes that home made Pepper Jelly, Chris is HOT into those spice mixes & Cindy's cookin' those candles in the kitchen. We all had a good day of sales and a good day of visiting too. We plan to have our craft sale next year too looking like November 7th.
