  1. Thanks Hazel. Great questions. He sounded fairly good. Good to hear his reports re the deer over population. (Remember- our group got him hired.) We need a lot more and better hunters, We had a qualified hunter on our 4 acres and he and his friend did not even get one deer all season. He really tried. He saw deer on my property and really tried (cameras etc) but never got to killed one. Re State laws: I think we need to march on the Gov.’s office to demad help re deer-overpopulation -and also medically counting the number of cases of various tick-borne diseases in our Town and County (i.e. Alpa Gal Meat Allergy. Thousands of cases and NO records!)

About Leafages

"Credo" statement

Leafages by Hazel Kahan are made from real leaves, vines and tendrils interwoven with calligraphy, decorative pen and ink flourishes and imaginary Latin botanical names. Leafages contain a philosophical or inspirational thought, quotation or verse from sages, poets or religious texts. Some leafages are specially created for an individual, a couple or a family with words or leaves reflecting their personal narrative. They are available on the Leafages shop on Etsy although the supply is low right now, all my energies having been absorbed by the book I’ve been writing. Do come back soon when the shop will be full of new leafage abundance or contact me.
