The Times They Are a Changing

And now spring is about to give way to summer. Ground that was nearly bare is lush with vegetation. The only downside to that is that mounted archery must be set aside till the frost comes again.

Arrows that miss their mark will never be recovered in the dense ground cover of the summer. Summer means special programs and projects--archaeology, stone age technology, construction of an Alquonkian long house, soil conservation projects, and intense horse training.

If Robin Hood's Merry Men looked as good as the three archers in the picture above the boy might have amounted to something.
