My Wife's Favorite Season...

Archery season. (heavy on the sarcasm) A friend of mine calls it Divorce Season. It is approaching very quickly here in NW PA. It is my favorite time of year, weather wise. The cool, crisp mornings and evenings are a refreshing reprieve from the summer heat. I do enjoy getting out into the woods and the anticipation of what might walk near my stand. My tv viewing choices lean towards hunting videos a little more often than normal and my eyes drift from field to field as I'm driving down the road. I know Mom, I know, keep my eyes on the road, but I want to see where the deer are hanging out and if there are any tall antlers. If anyone was to ask what my hobbies are, I would have to say hunting. That's a tough hobby to have since it only comes around once a year, even though it does last "forever", as my wife would say. There is one thing I have to remember. Even though it is my hobby, and it is only around for a "limited" time, I have to keep my family as a priority. Especially since we recently had baby #2 and my wife is just getting back to work from maternity leave. The schedules change, routine takes over, and I have to get with the program. I say, after looking at this picture, that the program I better get with is target practice. That is a horrible group, but it'll have to do. The season is coming and I'd rather spend my available time in the woods than in the yard. Just remember, in the grand scheme of things, hunting season comes around every year. Your family may only be in the stage it's in for a little while. Make the "important" moments count.
