Say what you will, but when the weather takes away time afield, I call that a climate crisis
After sitting out yesterday when the temperature hit 78 degrees, we set out this morning with high hopes for an all day affair. When we got about two miles from the truck, the heavens opened up and by the time we got back to the truck I was wet in places I didn't even know I had. And now...I have a rain gun
I thought I'd post a few more pictures from our trip as I sit here in the rained pattered cabin with a couple of Gordon setters that do not like taking time off. The Good Wife is just okay with the break, and hopes her hunting coat dries out by tomorrow. Snow showers expected tonight -- never a dull moment.

1. Aspen gave me my one chance today before rain set in. Unfortunately, just after, the rains came...and came...and came...
2. Rill had a bad day where she ran over birds, and then something clicked and she had two nice finds -- this being one of them -- and she hunted like a pro. Such is the saga of a two year old pup.
3. After a trip to Grand Rapids for groceries, we got back in time to sit on the dock and enjoy the lake view. It was 78 degrees, and our sit was curtailed by mosquitoes(!) Snow showers predicted for tonight. I hope they put down the ticks and mosquitoes.
4 & 5. Rill and Aspen are not good rain day dogs, but like sitting on the couch...until they decide that wrestling is in order. Then one goes to the kennel, and the other (Rill in this case) gets to point juncos from the window. For us this gets old quickly, but for Rill she is intense for however long the birds are there.
6. We are the only people here at the resort, but they still have their Halloween decor up and ready for the party. The dogs can't figure all this out.
