Snow and cold

We have had a very cold week and it is white outside. We got about 1-1/2 inches of snow yesterday. No deer yet and the first of our shotgun seasons ends tonight. Our disabled friend Leah and her husband Jason arrived Friday from N. Carolina. Leah is such an inspiration to be around. She was in nursing school when she was 21 and was diagnosed with MS. When I first met her 6 years ago she could still walk but she is now in a wheelchair and only has the use of her right arm. She always loved to hunt and hasn't let her disabilities stop her. Her husband Jason is an angel in the 100th degree. We went to their home a couple years ago and they took us bear hunting. Jason will literally carry her up a 20 ft ladder stand on his back.She has 4 kids from age 6 to 16. Three years ago he carried her up in a tree stand, cocked her crossbow and then went to his stand. They communicate by radio. Boy was he surprised when he came back and she had shot a 250 lb black bear. If you are a Nascar fan you would love to live where they do. They are 40 minutes from Bristol, 1 hour from Charlotte and 2-1/2 hours from Martinsville. We took them to the Martinsville race the weekend we went bear hunting and had a blast. It didn't hurt that Gordan won the race either. They left right before noon for home today with the promise we would go over this spring and trout fish with them. We decided they would come next year and bow hunt when it is not so cold. Jason said he and the boys would come over and help build some handicap accessible blinds this next summer. Well I am back to the woods and hope to at least get a doe before the end of the day. Later
