Back to Work

Poppy went back to work this morning after taking the week off to deer hunt.  Bow season came in and Poppy had a new crossbow to try out.  Fact is, he didn't kill a deer.  He didn't really see that many deer.   He waits patiently for that trophy buck to come sneaking in.   While down at his brother Joe's, better known as "Riverjoe", a large doe with a fawn walked up to their stand but neither of them wanted to shoot her.  My hat goes off to them!!!   We need more hunters with good hearts...especially up in this neck of the woods!!! 

You have heard it from me before, but we do not, I repeat, do not,  need another deer head or turkey tail on the wall...If Poppy never kills another turkey or deer, he has plenty to show for his efforts over the past years!!  Running out of space in the living room, two of the deer mounts have been moved into the bedroom...one over each side of the bed!!!  We wake up every morning to a couple of bucks looking down at us.   Nothing feminine about this house!!!  Just kidding!  But now you see why I so enjoy my little dining area and the sewing room.  Every woman has to have a little lace and ruffles, bonnets and dolls!! :)

I was never too much involved in Poppy's bottle collecting, but together we have quite the collection of arrowheads.  Back when we were dating we loved to look for arrowheads and we had our special secret places to look...dirt roads, especially after a hard rain, and tobacco fields after they were plowed.   On Sunday afternoons, Poppy and I, both dressed in our Indian boots and suede coats with long fringe, would take his Jeep and go out looking for arrowheads. 
 

Just a few of the arrowheads displayed in cases...

If you are ever lucky enough to find an arrowhead, you get the fever...it is so exciting thinking about how many years ago an Indian sat and chipped that arrowhead from rock and then used it for hunting, or for protection.  Arrowheads can be found almost anywhere.  It has been many years since Poppy and I actually went out arrowhead hunting, but Poppy found one in Joe's front yard just last week. 

Thank you for looking at my blog.  Hope to be back soon, and hope you will be back to visit too. :)   

Love,
