Breakfast.

Good morning! As my old friend Gray Wolf used to say: The eagle may soar, but the wise owl knows when to keep quiet.
Looking outside, it seems we’re in for another beautiful day here in the north. Plenty of sunshine, hardly a cloud in sight and the breeze is just right. Along with that, the temperature has settled back into the comfortable zone. Truth be told, other than a smidgen of warmth for a couple of days, and a bit too much rain, our summer has been perfect. If it keeps up like this, I might just start thinking Mother Nature’s got a soft spot for us. Or… maybe she’s just making up for last winter.
Highway 522 has seen a bit more action lately, with folks out and about looking for things to do. Seems like everyone’s trying to escape the humdrum of their own four walls. Heck, even the deer are starting to look twice before crossing!
Bug Report: Nothing to report, as things have been pretty nice out there. Even the mosquitoes seem to be on vacation! Which is fine with me.
On another note, yesterday I worked away outside on a few more projects that needed attention, and in the afternoon I took it a bit easy and wrote up another story for my newspaper columns that I write for weekly. I write 52 columns a year, which can keep a feller busy at times. And you know, in over 30 years, I’ve never missed a single one. You’d think that would be some kind of record. But the best part is, my readers keep asking for more.
Today, my wife and I are thinking of taking the day off to enjoy our property. We’ll do some front porch sittin’, relax by the fishpond, and spend time on the swing I made a few years ago—Just Because We Can!
And with that, I’m off for my morning breakfast that my lovely wife is making for me. Afterward, I’ll see what the day has in store, beyond what I’ve planned. Life is a mystery. But in saying that… sometimes, the best moments are the ones you didn’t see coming.
You all have a great day, and I will leave you to ponder on this: “You don’t stop playing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop playing.” GW

Advice from an Old Angler: A simple cane pole, some line, and a hook are all you need for a relaxing day of fishing. No reels, no fuss. Sometimes… the old ways are the best ways—keep it simple, and have fun!
