11-07-2026 — Venison Stew

Howdy all. Well, the cold windy, wet, winter has really started. Yes, it is still going to be a high in the 40s, but, it was drizzling/raining most of the night, right up to now (11 am). And the winds have been running 20-30 mph, with them expected to push 40 by tomorrow night. Brr.

Oh, and the porncast suggests snow and low 30s by end of the week. Hey, that’s when the yard is to get the final fall cleanup. Hopefully those winds and rain will knock almost all of the leaves to the ground by then.

I’m glad that about the only thing I have left to do outside, is pop 40-50 tulip bulbs into the soil in the back garden beds. Should make for a pretty display in the spring. I just need to do that before the ground gets hard!!

Two nights ago, a visitor ran through the yard a few times. Here is a security video of the young fellow.

He had a nice set of antlers — 6 point? 8 point? Tough for me to tell.

But, he gave me a great idea.

This is a lovely stew in the slow cooker. Should be yummy in a few hours.

No!!!!! That isn’t venison. It is store bought dead cow chunks. I’m not a killer. I leave that to someone else. But I do like a yummy stew.

And more importantly, the buck can still Enjoy Life
