This Is Fall On the Prairies
We've had a few photographic opportunities here recently
First, Myles went out to photograph the burning off the flax on the field around us. The straw from the flax is good for building houses, but not much else. They can't till it back into the soil efficiently, so they burn it off. Fall skies are filled with smoke on windless days, and often the night is brightened by the lights of fires in the distance.
And then there was the deer. Jim, Trent's mentor, shot a deer and brought it to us. We hung it out in the Sukkah and skinned it, and in the morning, Myles went out and cut it into sections for me to butcher into meal sized pieces. Myles then took the hide and prepared it for tanning.
Snack time for the puppies, after I've taken all I can from the bones
So much meat..
There is an old method of tanning hides using the brain, and so this is why Myles is after the brain from this deer skull
