1. Are leaves still falling where you are or are they done now? Have they even changed yet?
Oh yes, leaves changed colour several weeks ago and a lot have fallen to the ground. Last week I thought we were nearing the end of the falling leaves but perhaps there is still another week or two before the end. Here are a few recent photos taken in the neighbourhood.
2. Does anyone in your family go hunting? Have you ever gone? Would you tell us about it?
No one goes hunting anymore but when I was growing up my dad and my uncles would go hunting for moose. I absolutely love moose meat, especially moose steaks with onions fried in lard and seasoned liberally with salt. Once cooked and while the pan and lard are still hot, you smear a piece of bread in the pan drippings. Usually we ate the meat and bread with boiled potatoes. Oh my, it doesn't get much better than that! I've never gone hunting myself but I would have loved to have gone. My mom also used to set snares to trap rabbits in winter. She liked rabbit stew but I didn't like it myself. I went with her a few times to collect the rabbits and help skin them but I never learned how to set the snares.

The leaves falling are slow here, we have had so much rain in the past few weeks and we are almost back to normal annual rainfall here.
We have registered hunters here, but most people are very anti-hunting, that includes us.
We both rake the leaves but I also pick up quite a lot with the mower.
I have never followed football!
Keep well and have a good week, cheers Diane
Your photos of the leaves are beautiful. Most of ours are gone now -- there are a few stragglers. I'm glad I don't have to rake. I have some but they are mulchable in the mower.
My daughter loves moose and also Reindeer. I am a buffalo fan as I like the light taste of the meat.
Lovely photos of your area. Leaves in my yard are so deep because in the back of me is forest for miles and that means tons of trees.
Thanks for joining in!
Your photos are so pretty… I should have taken the time to add some, but things are pretty hectic here today! Have a lovely holiday season!
I enjoyed your answers.
Never had moose.
The trees are wonderful!! Those stems!!
Enjoy your week!
