Fishing June 29th

Paul invited us to go fishing after supper, a perfect way to end the day. It was hot here in Bancroft today 31*C and this is the Canada Day holiday so there are lots of people up at their cottage. Getting out on the lake for a little fishing was a great way to escape the heat.

Mary prepares her line as we head out for the fishing hole.

This lake is known for it's splake and small mouth bass. Mary pulled in the largest this night, looks about 4lbs. Paul confirmed it.

Does she look happy? Mary loves it up here and it shows on her face, always smiling. We should have moved up here 30 years ago.

More good news. Our chickens have learned to put themselves to bed. Last night Mary had to corral them and lift each one into the coop. Tonight when we got home from fishing all but one were inside, ready for bed. We even got 4 eggs today, the second day we've had them. The summer looks promising.




Enjoy the long weekend and check back tomorrow.
