It's fishing with friends at my pond and chow down on some lip smackin good BQ all weekend long.
Monday, we take some time and remember what this holiday is all about.
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.

Lot's of beer going down the hatch....
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Continue to keep working on clearing an area for my electrcity and future cabin and of course some fishing. And yes remembering what Monday's holiday is all about no doubt about that!! Thanks to every man and women who are serving and who have served and to those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom, and to their mothers and fathers who have given up thier child for this country. THANK YOU ALL!!!!!
The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

It's always a bittersweet weekend. I was sworn in forty-one years ago today. As I left home, another friend was lost before I got to my destination. I was one of the extremely fortunate who made it back whole. I think back to my early days with my dad's uncles, placing flags on the graves of the WW-I veterans on this weekend, when it was called "Decoration Day."
On a much happier note, my youngest grand daughter came over this evening to help build a new worm farm, feed the pond fish, catch some fish for a family fish fry, and just make life more fun.
Four generations of family will join together tomorrow to enjoy the results of my grandson's recent fishing expedition for Chesapeake Bay "rock fish" (striped bass to the rest of the world.)
Sunday will bring a host of friends for a big bluegill fry.
In between, I'll finish mowing, bush hogging, grading the driveway, gardening, and just plain relaxing.
Life is good.

I know what I won't be doing this weekend: Spending time on the local lakes where all the drunks that probably never served will be getting soused! I made the mistake of thinking I could get some fishing in with that crowd on a local lake. Nope! Thank God for private ponds!
It's sad that many folks probably don't even remember or even care what Memorial Day really stands for.
Here's to our fallen that died making sure we have the freedoms we have!

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Finally getting my spring food plots in. Got the fertilizer spred today and only have an acre left to till. I should have all of them planted tomorrow and sprayed by tomorrow or sunday. Hope to have time left to get some mowing done and work on the apple trees.
