Hunting on the Horizon

Hunting season is on the horizon for the Jenkins household.  Really it’s all ready here.  It’s time to plant, time to get all the last minute preperations done, start the feeders and cameras, etc.  The season officially starts the first of October- for archery season.  This is that time of year though when you can feel like you are speeding closer and closer to that horizon.

This year is bringing extra preperations.  We now have a small old trailer in deer camp to fix up.  Each week we get closer and closer to having in prepared.  I’m “fixing it up” to be a little retreat.  Cody has pretty much given me free reign as far as decor goes.  He knows I won’t spend much and trusts me not to make it too girly- it is deer camp afterall.   And, this trailer isn’t going anywhere. 

I’m planning on painting it my favorite color- the same color that’s in my bedroom: Morning Fog, Olympic Paint D61-1.  I pretty much knew instantly that I would use that color.  I can’t wait to finish priming so I can add that small amount of color.  It’ll will really brighten the little space up and I love the way the color will change as the light does.  The little trailer has different wood tones and this will help to unify it- and make it more washable.  (There is a practical side to painting.)

I’ll have hard wood floors too!  It’s going to be my little haven.  Seriously though, we knew we had to pull the carpet (who puts carpet in a deer lease trailer?).  What does that mean- you put down linoleum.  We went to Lowe’s and priced it.  . . and there was a remnant of the hard-wood look.  Of course, in a dream world it’s what I would have wanted- but this is the deer lease.  Well, it turned out to be about a half to a third of the price of the plain jane stuff.  So, we picked it up.

Two weekends ago, we got power to the place thanks to a friend from church.  Friday evening it was the new AC unit thanks to Billy’s help.  Next steps- we need to figure out the refrigerator and a shelf for the microwave we bought.  Then I can finish priming and painting.

That’s just a small glimpse at all the stuff we get to do out there in camp.  But, then, all this is taking away from the time that Cody can spend on the lease doing work.  It will all get done in due time. . . and wasn’t doesn’t get done, won’t get done.
