Good Morning!
You know, I have found that the best thing about living in the country, is waking up to the sound of nature, ‘instead of an alarm clock’.
It’s a foggy morning waking up here in the north. The mist is thick, keeping things quiet and still. But once the sun starts doing its job, things will clear up, and the day will come to life. I have always felt that living away from the cities, mornings like this were made for me. No rush, no noise…just quiet. And there is nothing better than…sipping a cup of coffee on the porch and watching as the sunlight breaks through the trees. ‘Life as it should be.’
Highway 522 did pick up a wee bit yesterday, which brought quite a few folks into our gift shop. They really liked our hand made items, all made right here at our home. No offshore stuff in our shop, just the real deal, and you know…folks these days are starting to appreciate that. ‘Which is nice to see!‘
On another note, my lovely wife and I managed to get our grass cut yesterday. I have to say once finished, our property looks great, all neat and tidy. After we put things away, we got cleaned up and took a break to sit on the porch, while enjoying a cold drink, and taking in the view. It’s nice to see the results of our hard work and enjoy the peaceful setting. Kinda makes me wonder why more folks don’t swap city life for something this relaxing. But then again…living in the country isn’t for everyone. It takes a ‘special kind of person‘ who’s got it in their blood to really make a go of it and appreciate the simple life.
Today once again I am not sure what I will be doing, maybe my wife and I will take the day off and enjoy what we have… other than work. It’s good to do that occasionally. ‘Don’t ya think?’
With that, I am off for my breakfast that my little woman has made for me.
You all have a great day, and I will leave you with this to ponder on: “A calm day in the country is proof that nature has a better handle on things than we do.”

Day Rating: Not the best day for fishing, I only give it a 1-Star Rating out of 5 for catching a few. But, hey! One never really knows till they have their line in the water. Good Luck!
Advice from an Old Angler: You know, fishermen years ago would make their own lures from bits of metal, wood, or even repurposed items like old spoons. I remember my old Dad saying: “If you can’t make it yourself, you weren’t fishing properly…imagination is your best lure!” He’d go on to say.
