Weekending

Last weekend had some of the usual things - a little grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, and laundry, but I also did something new and fun. Justin took me stump hunting. He brought his recurve bow home and instead of target shooting, we went out for a walk in the woods and hunted wild stumps. Sometimes it was clumps of grass, leaves, icicles, or even actual stumps.




There was also plenty of enjoyable walking through the woods, down by the creek, trying not to slip down the steep side of the hollow and then climbing back up the other side which felt even steeper, and then an easy walk across the fields.









It was a bit cold, but we quickly warmed up during our afternoon of walking. Target shooting with my bow is fun, but stump hunting with Justin is even better.

  1. Your pictures are so nice Bonny! I love that you and Justin get out like that together. Nothing better than a walk in the woods/fields with your child. The picture of the bow against the stump is great!

  3. Your sport is a great one just because you can walk through the woods and shoot at "nothing" or just walk and enjoy the beauty around you! I call that a PERFECT sport!

  5. Love that last photo!

    I suppose stump hunting is easier than any other kind because the stumps don't move, right?

  11. What a wonderful time outdoors with Justin ... and bonus for all the lovely photos of the winter landscape! I predict you're going to be an ACE stump-hunter (especially with a little help from him) :-)

  12. I am with Karen, a day spent with a son (or daughter) is a good day. How fun that you and Justin could spend the day in the woods. I bet the day was a balm for your soul.
