A Special Day with Country Boy

Country Boy decided that he wanted to go fishing yesterday.  So, he spent some time on Monday prepping his boat and we bought some Night Crawlers at the Bait & Tackle shop in town.  Tuesday morning we headed out to the river which is only a few miles down the road.  This was my first trip on this river so I was anxious to see what the sites were!  I was not disappointed!


The sun was peeking through the trees and there was a mist on the water's surface.  

After launching the boat, we headed to a small lake.


Once we arrived at the lake, there was lots of casting, reeling in and shutters clicking!

There wasn't a lot of talking going on.  Instead, we just enjoyed being with each other and sharing this beauty together.


This Limpkin was a great subject for the camera.  I think he enjoyed posing!



I coulda' used a good stretch too!


The birds were singing, the cicadas were humming, the sound of water lapping against the boat, and so many sights to see!



It was a beautiful day to be outside.



This reminded me that it is Fall!


We came in around 2:00 and headed home.  I made some spaghetti sauce to have for dinner that night and cooked up some chicken to put in salads or wraps.  After that, we headed back out again to another lake.  

I'll share more photos later... I don't want you to fall asleep at the computer!  I also need to get back to my HUGE re-organizing project that I started this morning and need to get done before Country Boy gets home *yikes*.  I have WAY too much stuff for this size house *sigh*.  Must.get.rid.of.more.stuff!

Till next time,

Blogger Withdrawals

Blogger's back!  YAY!  How frustrating it was last night when I got myself all situated on the front porch to write my blog and 'What do ya' mean Blogger is down for Maintenance and your sorry for the inconvenience'!  Harumph!  I checked all night long and finally gave up and went to bed.  I waited until now to check it hoping 'they' had had enough to finish 'their' maintenance.  And yes, I can blog again.  And I can read other blogs.  I felt out of the loop yesterday not being able to see what everyone had been up to all day!  But, all is well now!

I can't even remember what I was going to blog about yesterday.  Oh well!  And since I wasn't sure if it would be up and running today, I really hadn't thought about anything to blog about for today.  SOooo...

I will show you the rest of the pictures from last weeks' fishing trip.

We were almost to the dock when we spotted this Limpkin.

We decided to head under the bridge by the dock and spotted a second Limpkin.













































































































































I think that wraps up the fishing trip.  I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as we enjoyed our little jaunt in the river!

Happy Friday the 13th!  And no, I'm not superstitious!  Country Boy and I were married on the 13th!  It's a good number for us. In fact, it was 11-1/2 years ago today!  Whoop!  I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!

Till next time,
