Hunting Season

     Kaia was happy to be rescued from doggy camp, a.k.a. kennel. South Dakota pheasant season opened without me while I was enjoying the good life in Greece. Not to worry, because the season runs until the last day of January. During the COVID quarantine of 2020-21, I hunted 90 days. That's not likely to be repeated but hunt we will.

    So, we took our first hunt today. What could be better than I nice outdoor walk with a happy dog? Though we didn't see a pheasant, only some stratospherically high flying geese, not seeing any pheasants has an upside. What might that upside be? I haven't missed a shot this season.  😀 There are plenty of days to follow.  Things to ponder: Does Kaia experience disappointment that there were no birds to flush? She certainly displays no lack of enthusiasm. Now she sleeps peacefully by my side.

      Our lovely Greek group, for some reason I'm always sent to the back of the room group.

       The picture was taken at this winery. Their wines, excellent, may not be available in the U.S. There was moment of confusion when I asked Anna if gai was a Greek word,,,"No". Then it dawned on me that I was in the wrong language. "Gai" is "chicken" in Thai. 😄 Kow pat gai = rice fried chicken.
