Good Morning! Thinking back, my old dad used to say: If you’re lookin’ for a friend, try a dog. If you’re lookin’ for work, try a farm. He went on to say, And if you’re lookin’ for both, drop by and say hello.
Looks like another fine day shaping up for us here in the north. It’s a bit misty now, but the sun will burn it off soon enough. Nothing like a bit of nature’s magic to start the day, which we see a lot of, living where we do. That is, you take the time to notice.
Highway 522 slowed down a bit yesterday, but our gift shop still saw a steady stream of visitors picking up one-of-a-kind items. I have to say, we’ve had a great year so far.
Bug Report: All is well in that department. Well, except for the mosquitoes, who are clearly on vacation—they left a note saying they’d be back later on when conditions are right. Damn nice of them, don’t you think?
Yesterday, I was out and about taking care of this and that. Out here in the country, owning a home means you’re never short of things that need fixing. From mending an out building, that’s seen better days, to chasing after weeds that seem to think they own the place, there’s always work to be done.
Today, well... I am thinking I will take things a bit easy and give this old body of mine a much-needed rest. My lovely wife and I have done so many things this year around our home, that we can’t begin to remember them all. And it’s not that we’re forgetting things—just been too busy to keep up!
With that I am off once again for my breakfast that my little woman has made for me, and will then head on out to our swing by our fishpond with a hot cocoa… and take in our beautiful piece of property.
You all have a great day, and I will leave you with this: “When in doubt, take a nap and let the world sort itself out.”

Day Rating: I give it a 3-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. Good Luck!
Advice from an Old Angler: Keep your hooks sharp with a small file. A sharp hook sets easier and catches more fish. I’ve always said; “A dull hook is like a dull knife—good for nothin’.”
