October might be the loveliest month of the year, or so it seemed this morning as I walked the backyard (our dog park) with Chev, Finley and Xupe.  It was cool, breezy and the colors are just beginning to change.  It took quite a few laps through the woods to wear them out, but it didn’t matter because I didn’t want to go inside anyway.

The tough question that Biff faces these days is whether to hunt or fish, as it’s the season for both.  Grouse, woodcock and pheasant are all now “open” in Minnesota and the steelhead are running up on the Brule River.  We’re packing as much outdoor time in as we can through this sweet season of year.
