Yea today, we get to play for an hour with bows and arrows before we walk the trail this afternoon.  I always look forward to lessons especially in the winter when they are pretty few and far between.  We will be more busy with the on come of warmer weather.   But hard core archers need to master the art of operating while uncomfortable and not being distracted.  But today the weather looks reasonable, chilly but good.

Catherine y Dana are so enthusiastic and ready for anything so they are really fun to coach.  They have been here for a while so they are through with the basics and on to the advanced stuff.  Last session we did moving targets which is always a challenge.  Today I want to do long range shooting and hopefully the wind will cooperate.  All the shooting that we have done so far has been twenty yards and under and today I want to stretch them to thirty and out to sixty.  Sometimes we do things that are really hard so that the normal stuff feels more easy.

I am so glad that this is something that I can teach.  It is really not a chore for me and it means so much to some folks.  Like most things it is not for everyone but it is a type of activity that we need desperately these days when we spend so much time pushing buttons ,  staring at screens and being indoors.   I am so happy to be out in the fresh air shooting arrows or watching other people do it.  It is my Valentine’s Day present.

All good here.  Had a great time over the weekend with my Bible Guys.  Will be back to treatment tomorrow in Seattle.  So today I am solidly here at Raven Ranch, my sanctuary.   Happy St Valentine’s Day to you.  Miss you, love you, Felipe.

PS – Cupid’s arrows will fly today!
