In search of antlers

Third week in November, most folks think  "Thanksgiving time", not in our house. It is deer season!

I have written about this season before, here, and here.  The first link describes what it means to Dave.
I have always enjoyed the little break from routine that deer season provides, usually about 4 days of being alone in my house, a bit of time to myself. This year is a little different, not being in the shop.. Other years I still went to work, often having a sale this weekend...lots of people around.
 
This year is different, I made some plans with the grandkids, but mostly I am alone. So here are my lists...things not to do and a small to do list...but I don't intend to do anything that doesn't suit my mood,,,,,so there!


To do:
Sleep late
Reading
stitching
knitting
a bit of Christmas decorating
online Christmas shopping
fritter away time

Not to do:
cooking
cleaning
having the tv on
wearing my hearing aid
getting dressed (!)
 

What do you think of my list? What would you add?

Lately I have seen a lot of faux antlers in decorating magazines and on pinterest.  Of course, I jumped on the bandwagon, only using real antlers...Having antlers on the wall is not new to our cabin,but is new to my house. I draw the line at full head mounts....they must stay at the cabin..



These are sheds from my Dad's deer farm...the bucks drop their horns in late winter, I think.



Antlers from a deer Dave hit with his truck years and years ago, recently added to our living room décor.

 

Maybe I will have some more antlers after this season, or not.
